Following publication of our initial thinking on the evolution of project management from earliest times to the present, a final paper has been uploaded to the Origins, and trends in, modern project management section of our website.
This paper identified two waves of development in the sophistication of the management of projects, the first from pre-history through to the Romans (Western Empire), the second from the dark ages, through to the present. Project control tools seem to have had little effect on this evolution until the start of the 20th century.
