The History of Project Management by Mark KozakHolland
Brand: Multi-Media Publications Inc.
Product Description
The Pyramid of Giza the Colosseum and the Transcontinental Railroad are all great historical projects from the past four millennia. When we look back we tend to look at these as great architectural or engineering works. Project management tends to be overlooked and yet its core principles were used extensively in these projects. This book takes a hard look at the history of project management and how it evolved over the past 4500 years. It shows that modern project management practices did not just appear in the past 100 years but have been used often with a lot of sophistication for thousands of years. Examining archaeological evidence artwork and surviving manuscripts this book provides evidence of how each of the nine knowledge areas of project management as shown in PMIs PMBoKR Guide have been practiced throughout the ages. The book covers the period from the construction of the ancient pyramids up to the 1940s. A future companion volume will cover more recent developments during the war years and the technology boom leading up to the present. As readers explore the many case studies in this book they will discover fascinating details of innovative projects that produced many of our most famous landmarks and voyages of discovery. show more
