project management as we know it today has evolved in order to plan, coordinate and monitor the complex modern and diverse industrial and commercial activities, and change management projects.
It is clear that projects that man-made is not new; surviving monuments of the oldest civilizations attest to the incredible achievements of our ancestors, and which still excite our wonder and admiration. Modern projects, for all the technological development, not necessarily bigger in size than some of those huge business early. But economic pressures in the industrialized world, the military defense needs, and competition between rival companies, the largest of regard for the value of well-being and as much as (and thus labor costs) of people who work all led to the development of new ideas and techniques for managing projects.
share a common feature of all projects and one - drop the ideas and activities in the new endeavors. Permanent presence of the element of risk and uncertainty means that the events and tasks leading to the achievement can never be accurately predicted. For some very complex projects, or even the possibility of developing successful completion may be in serious doubt.
The purpose of the project management to predict or speculate on the largest possible number of risks and possible problems and plan, organize, and control activities so that completion of the project as successfully as possible, despite all the risks. This process starts before committed any resource, and we must continue until the completion of all work.

taking a large part of the evolution of project management methods in the second half of the twentieth century, driven by the project impatient buyers (who wanted their project finished so quickly that their investments can be put to profitable use as soon as possible). Competition among nations for supremacy in weapons and defensive systems played an important role in the development of project management techniques, this process has been accelerated by widespread strong and reliable computers, and cheap. Project management is most effective when it makes use of these technologies and advanced facilities and, in this sense, is a branch high degree of specialization in management.
planning and control must, of course, be exercised on all the activities and resources used in the project. Therefore, the project manager needs to understand how all the various participants are working, and estimate (at least in the chart) special skills, working methods and problems and weaknesses. This requires a large degree is somewhat of a public trial so that, in the practical sense, and project management is closer to the public administration.
