Management Questions and Answers
History of Project Management <unit 1> --Project management has been around since
human beings began to create structures they wanted to last.
--Completing these large projects required organizing efforts to meet the exact specifications of
the end-users and stakeholders.
-- In 1911 Frederick Taylor, the father of scientific management, used scientific reasoning to
demonstrate we can complete tasks more efficiently when we break the work processes down
into smaller tasks.
-- Henri Gantt built on Taylor's work by creating the Gantt chart, an easy-to-use management
tool designed to track multiple tasks in large projects.
-- Similar tools include the program evaluation and review technique (PERT) and the critical
path method (CPM).
--With scientific management theory as its backbone and various tools available to keep track of
processes, project management methods have expanded across many fields.
