Project management has been practiced for thousands of years, but
only recently have organizations begun to apply systematic
management tools and techniques to manage complex projects. Today's
approaches to project management can be traced directly to
methodologies designed by the U.S. military and Department of
Defense in the years after World War II. Subsequent advances in
management information systems have helped to codify project
management practices; most recently, the Internet has dramatically
enhanced the ability of individuals, teams, and organizations to
manage projects across continents and cultures in real time. The
Story of Managing Projects showcases cutting-edge research
conducted around the world on emerging practices in project
management. Covering an enormous spectrum of subjects and
industries—from an upgrade of the Greek railway system to
infrastructure reconstruction in Kuwait—the authors explore the
full range of inter-personal, technical, and organizational
dynamics of project management, contributing new insights to its
theory and application.
