The 1950’s were the start of project management with the application of Taylor’s scientific management. Project management was based on the marriage of the Henry Gantt time based chart and Fayol’s five principles of management planning organising, commanding, coordinating and controlling. These principles still form the foundation of our modern bodies of knowledge.

 The value of project management was demonstrated on major projects. Many of these projects have attained mythical status in project management including the Polaris missile programme, the DuPont Corporation and Remington Rand Corporation development of the critical path (I bet they wish they had patented that!) The decade finished with the formation of the International Project Management Association (IPMA) in 1967, the PMI in 1969, forerunner of the APM, called Internet (another good name) in 1972.

The development of microcomputers in the 1980 saw the explosion of the project management for all, with its ubiquitous symbol – the Gantt chart. Some adventurous people even implemented earned value management. During the 80’s every organisation and government department had its own approach to project management, with the associated not surprising chaos.

1989 saw the launch of PRINCE (followed by PRINCE2 in 1996) following the PMI PMP certification launched in 1984. The 1990’s became the decade of codification, standardisation and with growing acceptance that a common approach to project management was beneficial.

For project management the Noughties were decade of globalisation for project management with the connectivity of the internet leading to teams outsourced across the world, increasing recognition for project management certification across the globe be it PRINCE2 or the PMI’s PMP. Towards the end of the decade management in general including project management discovered the Blackberry and  all of a sudden we struggled with information overload. What had been manageable communication channels became frenetic with ongoing 24 hour activity to suit the new global projects.

They say the past is no predictor of the future but what will be the up and coming trends for the teens. Will

1)      The fallout from the credit crunch and severely reduced public spending lead to a severe reduction in the demand for project management and a decade of cost cutting and cancelled projects?

2)      Will the increasing pressure for change lead to an increasing demand for truly professional project managers, maybe (or maybe not) linked to chartered status?

3)      Will pressure for consistency continue with consolidation between the different methodologies (PRINCE2, APM, PMP)?

4) die neuen sozialen médiaswerkzeuge wie Google Wave uns à zu helfen  die d'masse zu organisieren; généréesinformationen durch die Projekte, die die meta-Markierungszeichen benutzen, und der Forschung des manièremême nur der Google-Motor der Forschung zum Web.

Or (5) all of the above?
