This document provides an overview of project management. It discusses the history of project management, including how the Great Pyramids and Great Wall of China were built using early project management principles. Modern project management emerged in the late 19th century to coordinate complex manufacturing and transportation projects. Henry Gantt introduced planning and control techniques like the Gantt chart. Project management is defined as organizing and managing resources according to a defined scope to complete a project on time and within budget while meeting quality standards.

Henry Gantt, was father of Modern Project management, who
introduced Planning and control techniques and developed charts
to keep track of projects, which today are known as Gantt Charts.
In 1909, Taylor published "The Principles of Scientific
Management." In this, he proposed that by optimizing and
simplifying jobs, productivity would increase. He also advanced the
idea that workers and managers needed to cooperate with one
another. This was very different from the way work was typically
done in businesses beforehand.
