Project Management Handbook


In recent years, the pace of change and the complexity of the business environment have increased rapidly. And this has often left operational structures outdated, no longer suitable for the new challenges. Existing organisations are often fragmented, their structures too hierarchical. This gets in the way of quick decision making, and makes interdisciplinary teamwork difficult. In situations like these, using established procedures to manage projects is rarely a recipe for success. We need new organisational forms and structures in order to facilitate more efficient management and communication, new forms and structures that are suitable for the challenges of modern business life. Project management was born in the 1950s, in the space and construction sectors. Special planning methods were developed for these projects, such as the network planning method. Nowadays, these are used not just to manage complex tasks in technical environments, but also for problem solving and crisis situations in all management fields, such as marketing, personnel, finance and corporate organisation, in both businesses and public sector organisations. In the context of internal projects involving structural, organisational or personnel issues, project management is also often called change management.
