ABSTRACT
The projects mentioned in the Introduction-the Great Pyramid of Egypt, the International Space Station, the Chunnel, and the development of “Product J” have something in common with each other and with every other undertaking of human organizations: they all require, in a word, management. Although the resources, work tasks, and goals of these projects vary greatly, none of them could have happened without management. This chapter contrasts project management and non-project management and looks at the variety of ways and places where project management is used.
