A spoken-word critique of project-based work, where teams scatter after each deadline and knowledge disappears. The speaker argues for stable product teams that own their work long-term, keep expertise in place, and build lasting value instead of chasing quick wins.
We're running in circles, chasing the clock, juggling projects, a ticking tick-tock. Different bosses pulling different strings, scattered focus, what value does it bring? Ownership fades when the team's torn apart, priorities clash, it's a battle from the start. Acknowledged results when the project is done, who will carry the torch when the race is run? But there's a better way, a clearer direction, about the consistency, a true connection. Let's move from projects to products today. Where guns are delivered, not swept away. Ongoing care that the London path lies. With steady hands, we'll see it rise. No more chaos, no tug of war. A product focus opens the door. When the project ends, where do ideas go? Do we reapply to let potential show? The knowledge we gain fades into the mist. A system like this, how can it persist? With product teams, the future is clear. Experts in place, year after year. Consistency thrives, innovation flows. Together we grow as the product knows. Topologies can pave the way, but not a blueprint. Adapt, don't just obey. Let's move from process to product today. Where value's delivered, not swept away. Ongoing care, development that's wise. With steady hands, we'll see it rise. No more chaos, no tug of war. A product focus opens the door. When the project ends, where do ideas go? Do we reapply to let potential show? The knowledge we've gained fades into the mist. Steady hands will see it rise. No more chaos, no tug of war. A product focus opens the door. The prolonged gain, not the quick win. A stable foundation for the team within. Knowledge stays where the product lives, and the whole team thrives with the value it gives. Let's move from projects to products today, where value's still never got swept away. Ongoing care, development that's wise. With steady hands, we'll see it rise. No more chaos, no tug of war.
