Project Management History.

A review of the results of projects in antiquity reveals evidence in three primary forms:
* Artifacts
* Cultural strategies
* Literature and documents
It was the 1950s, when project management was formally recognized as a distinct contribution arising from the management discipline. Prior uses of Project Management (PM) had a focus on three major factors, i.e cost (budget), schedule (time) and technical performance (specification). Since the early 1950s, names and labels have been given to the elements of the project management discipline, helping to facilitate its further development as a profession.
From earliest recorded times, people have worked together toward designing anf creating projects. Although the term “project management” did not come into wide use until the 1950s, its history is much longer that the term itself. For the period prior to 1950 back through antiquity, there is very limited documentation and literature, but from 1950s to the present time, there is a growing abundance of articles, books and papers that can be used to build a contemporary model of project management.
