Project management has existed in some form for thousands of years. After all anything that requires an approach where humans organize effectively to a plan and achieve specific objectives can be loosely defined as a project. The History of Project Management is the history of mega projects of the last 4,500 years. These were not anomalies in history but projects delivered in a systematic way with similar characteristics to today's projects.
These historical projects all had the very similar characteristics to today's projects. The use of elements we consider modern like repeating patterns, penalties and rewards, standards and measures, procurements and contractors, organization through the guilds, on and offsite workforce, these were all used in the Colosseum project.
These historical projects were delivered in similar timeframes to today's projects, simply because people initiate projects so they can realize the benefits of the project.
Typically, they had a project charter, a business justification, and followed a life-cycle of phases not dissimilar to todays (initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing).
This book trailer introduces the viewer to a line of historical projects which are examined through the modern lens of project management and all nine PMBOK knowledge areas (Integration Management, Scope Management, Time Management, Cost Management, Quality Management, Human Resources Management, Communications Management, Risk Management, and Procurement Management).
Where does this lead us to today? It is an error in judgement to dissociate these historical projects from modern project management. Across history, the methods and practices of project management are little different from what is done today. Much can be learned from these historical projects that could be used as a baseline for measuring today's projects and putting them into perspective.
