ABSTRACT

In this chapter I propose to consider change in archaeology, and why archaeology is so well suited to project management. Building on this, and taking the Museum of London Archaeology Service (MoLAS) as a case study, I shall then outline how MoLAS has chosen to implement project management. Finally, I shall consider why it has or has not worked, looking at some of the benefits and disadvantages of matrix management as MoLAS has experienced it.
