Project Management has been around for a while!
Do you know that project management has been with mankind for about as long as we have consciously existed? When we consider that project management can be defined as the employment of limited resources to achieve a unique objective, we will see that mankind has always, from time immemorial, been striving to achieve one-off goals -whether hunting a mastodon for the first time; building a pyramid; a bridge; or sending people to the moon.
Project management however became a distinctly organized and systematic management science during the period between the late 19th century, supported by the work of Gantt (1861 -1919); Mayo (1933); Taylor (1947); to mid-20th century, having been consolidated, no doubt, by the efforts of NASA in the 1950s.
Over the years several organizations, including the PMI, AAPM, and IPMA have been instrumental in arranging and providing PM bodies with technical knowledge and best practices.
Whether huge and complex or small projects, you can improve the chances of their success by applying the relevant principles, procedures, tools, and techniques of Project Management. These have been put together by practicing PMs and researchers and several approaches have emerged. Just ensure that you're not overly complicating a simple thing!
Science Project in School
What's the most complex, or simple project you've worked on? Did you use PM Principles or just good old management approaches? Do you think that there is a relationship between the use of PM Principles and the success of projects? Please let me know.
Good luck!
