‘‘Project management’’ and ‘‘projects’’ are not new
concepts. Throughout history, vast projects of different
magnitudes have been undertaken successfully
across generations. Project management first emerged
in the early 1950s on large defence projects [43] and
gradually smaller organisations took to adapting the
idea, and currently, the smallest construction firms are
known to operate project management in some form.
A great deal of project management involves avoiding
problems, tackling new ground, managing a group of
people and trying to achieve very clear objectives
quickly and efficiently
