History of Project Management
Father of Project Management ?
Henry Gantt (Henry Laurence Gantt)
The Gantt Chart (1861 - 1919)
"Whatever we do must be in accord with human nature. We
cannot drive people; we must direct their development… the
general policy of the past has been to drive; but the era of
force must give way to that of knowledge, and the policy of
the future will be to teach and lead, to the advantage of all
concerned." (Henry Gantt)

Project Management 2.0
Project Management 2.0 (social project management):
the natural evolution of project management practices brought by
Web 2.0 technologies.
This second-generation Web environment has imposed itself by
virtue of new Web services and applications, which quickly
replace traditional project management software.
Such applications include: blogs, wikis, collaborative software, etc.
With broadband as the new utility, virtual teams now can work
together much more efficiently by utilizing the new-generation,
Web-based project management tools.
These tools challenge the original definition of project
management.
Project Management 2.0 represents a dramatic shift toward
having collaboration as the heart of project management.
The transformation appears in the role of the project manager and
in the interaction with clients.

Comparison of Traditional Project
Management and Project Management 2.0
Traditional project management
based on the project manager’s control.
the manager in the center of the project work – as he needs to collect
all the information from the team, process it and then communicate to
upper management.
can be hard for the manager to bring the project plan to life due to the
fact that all the information on the project is concentrated only around a
single person — himself.
New-generation project management tools
make it possible to create a collaborative space, and everyone involved
in the project is able to contribute to the project work in this space.
A project is led and developed by the whole team, and each team
member has the full information on the project.
Project progress is visible to everyone on the team.
A project manager from a Taskmaster becomes a project visionary and
chooses the right direction for the project development.
The new-generation tools take away part of his burden and allow him
to lead the project team.
