I'll throw my vote in for making changes to the project based culture
in IT organizations. Admittedly, you do need to have some type of
construct to fund, and you have to organize and manage work, which
sounds a lot like projects, but there's a difference between using
them to manage the work and using them to define the work. We've
gotten into a bad state where the only lifecycle anyone thinks about
is the project lifecycle. There's no such thing as a product
lifecycle in many organizations, except where it has been dictated by
external vendors.

Would you agree this implies that the entire company should stop
being project-oriented. The IT group and its behavior is largely a
reflection of the company culture.
