ABSTRACT
Project management is one of the central lines of managerial studies. For a project manager, in charge of a company, being aware of dreams, vision, and myth is as fundamental as for a racing driver being acquainted with the car’s engine. Originally the approach was distinctly technical, the organizational aspects being somehow overlooked and the methodology restricted to specific domains, such as projects for large works and projects for the development of new products in industrial and information engineering. From operations, project management kept developing, throughout any corporate domain. Because project management was born in factories this explains why project managers are required to have both technical-scientific skills and economical-managerial skills. Vision, like myth, has a grounding value for the origin and goals of the group, and becomes the ideal place where the individual’s journey of development acquires meaning.
