When we meet a friend who we haven’t seen for a long time, we would ask “hey, what project are you working on recently?”. This has probably become a basic greeting in the workplace. The origins of projects can be considered to have existed since the beginning of the human activity, while the history of project management is much shorter.
What exactly is project management?
Firstly, let us distinguish what is a project? And what is project management?
A “project” is a temporary effort to complete a unique product or service. During the implementation of a project, it is common to meet with problems that would inhibit the process.
“Project management” refers to the application of professional knowledge, skills, tools, and methods to project activities. Enabling projects to achieve or exceed set requirements and expectations with high quality and efficiency within a limited resource and period.
What are the origins of project management?
Regarding the origins of project management, most people believe that it originated during the Second World War, “amid a disorderly war, orderly project management was born”.
In the 1950s, the initial application areas were defense, construction, and astronautics, but project management became popular around the world as a result of the great success of the Apollo moon landing project in America. People from different regions began to be interested in project management.
