The End of Skype and the Life Cycles of Projects
Manage episode 482193715 series 129763
In this episode, Ricardo reflects on the end of Skype's cycle. Created in 2003 in Estonia, the application revolutionized online communication, allowing free voice calls and being essential for families, companies, and project managers. Acquired by eBay in 2005 and by Microsoft in 2011, Skype lost ground to more modern solutions such as Zoom, WhatsApp, and Teams. Ricardo highlights that the end of a project or product does not mean failure. Everything has a cycle: beginning, middle, and end. Recognizing when to end something responsibly is an essential skill in project management. Success lies in fulfilling its purpose, not in lasting forever. The end can also be a sign of success.
