I will describe the construction of a global Kuranishi chart for moduli spaces of stable pseudoholomorphic maps of any genus and explain how this allows for a straightforward definition of GW invariants. For those not convinced of its usefulness, I will sketch how this can be used to obtain a formula for the GW invariants of a product. This is joint work with Mohan Swaminathan.
