Introduction

The practice of project management has evolved over half a century and permeates all industries, institutions and governments throughout the world. This paper conveys a picture of the state of the art in this management discipline in 2004, and provides some predictions of the direction of its continued evolution over the next five years.

Four major subjects are covered as follows:

• Part 1: Project management within organizations
• Part 2: Project management applications, practices, and tools
• Part 3: Project management and people
• Part 4: Project management in the next five years

A global perspective is presented and various topics discussed under each.

• Project teams: What is the importance of teamwork in project management and how is it best achieved?
