Project management is a new science that has been very recently systemized. However, in previous decades, project management was preceded as an artistic approach toward the implementation of a specific project. For instance, the occurrence of this art appears in many great buildings such as the pyramids.
Nowadays, project management has become a science with specific criteria because of many factors such as the increase in the number of tasks at work that should be completed at a specific period of time.
And by the development of the work methods there was a need for new tools that can help manage big size project and projects with more complexity. Projects now tend to be more complex, which brings the point of changing the project management methods that can be based on three points, according to J. Davidson Fram in his book “The New Project Management Tools for and Age of Rapid Change Complexity and Other Business Realities”, that are :
- Project management should be more costumer focused
- Project management should explore new management tools
- The need to redefine the project managers roles
And by then, project management can be considerate as of the new developed engineering disciplines.
