The History of Project Management (Lessons from History)
"Mark's latest book illustrates that the knowledge and disciplines articulated in the PMBoK Guide have been leveraged successfully by our project management predecessors across centuries."-- Jim Hayden, PMP, CSM, Former President, PMI CVC"I have used Titanic lessons for projects and Project lessons from The Great Escape in my graduate classes for several years and now intend to use the History of Project Management as well. The series is an effective and creative way to promote student learning and generate class discussion."--Professor Ryan Nelson, University of Virginia"Mark helps us to recognise, in his examination of the deciding features of a project, that little has changed over the last four thousand years."--Martin Price, Past Director of PMI UK"This title is certainly the most comprehensive analysis of the use of basic tenants of modern Project Management across recorded history."--Glenn LeClair, CMCThe importance of lessons learned and historical information, confirms that project managers have existed for thousands of years and have learned from their predecessors mistakes and successes.--Linda F.
