How many big events can you think of in the history of Project Management? And when do you think they happened? These are the questions I asked myself. And then I started researching the answers. The result is one of my favorite and, I think, one of my best videos of the year. It's a small end-of-year gift to you, my community. Enjoy! By the way, in case you are wondering... My project Management career started in 1990, just in time for the Re-birth of PM!

@@Onlinepmcourses Mike - I’m subscribed to both of your UA-cam channels, Project Management and Management. I’ve added your Project Management book to my list of future purchases for my Professional Library. Thanks for all you do, you’re a real pro!

My PM career is just starting, but it is my life passion, watching the video and seeing someone who's so fascinated by this topic was so inspiring. Thank you for this excursion into history😊
Thank you so much for that detailed evolution of project planning and management. I like it when you include the creation story. The timeline spans over 4000years
"Formerly known as Prince" - love it 🎸. Much here I did not know, and really appreciate the time taken. In order to know where you are going, you must first know where you have been 👍
Thank you very much. I've been using the joke for years, but most of the rest was a labor of love. This took twice as long to make as my usual factual videos.
More histories, please! My take on this is to see how design management, as adopted in British architecture in 1963, has influenced project management, which of course has always influenced business. And how the UK Government introduced a five-step contract procurement process into the H.M Treasuries Gateway programmes. That's now aligned with the eight stage design management frameworks most typically used in construction, but I don't really know how to find out more about it. An archaeology of documents!
Unfortunately, I am not a historian either. Researching the details of now-defunct frameworks is not what I am good at. So, this overview is likely to be my only historical video for a while. If I can think of another wide-interest historical topic, then maybe. Otherwise, this summary is my historical gift to the community.
Awesome! Entertaining and added considerably to my knowledge of the evolution of Project Management. You’re a Master of Instruction and your videos are of the highest value to me. Best regards!!
In fact, many national PM organizations are affiliated to IPMA. I doubt there will be any more consolidation and would argue that diversity is a good thing. Multiple perspectives and competition to provide the best services for members are good things.
Awesome content! Very well put together and very excellently presented. Thank you so much for the history and knowledge gained. I pray the Lord blesses you and your family always.
@@Onlinepmcourses In 1995, he wrote a book called "The Wild Card of Design". In architecture and town planning, this was a critical question. You might design a building 'sculpturally', but you might also 'design' the outcomes of your project or locality. It had changed Project Management. It is also valuable in community engagement and social planning. Yet, few seem to have understood it. PS. if you look at modern Project Management outlines, many are just now starting to look like design-management frameworks. It has taken a long time.
@@jamesdecross1035 That's really interesting, thank you. It sounds like the idea is seminal, but is working its way into wider PM (outside of architecture and town planning) slowly. I think social Value will be a big consideration in Project Management in the coming years and I have a video about that topic in production for release later this month (July 2023).
That's a big question that deserves a big reply, so please do take a look at my article, PMBOK Guide 7th Edition: Your 20 Most Important Questions Answered (Update) onlinepmcourses.com/pmbok-guide-7th-edition-your-20-most-important-questions-answered-update/ However, in summary, it has started to be a *Guide* to the body of knowledge, rather than an attempt to catalog (one version) of all that knowledge. It now focuses more on the principles, ideas, and things we should seek out, and less on one specific set of ways of doing a project.

Hi Mike, I have a quick question. I want to know where to find Project management clients to manage their projects as a freelance project manager. thanks
I don't even know what country you are in Mohamed. So I will simply say: mostly in the cities, plenty in the towns, and some in the countryside. It all depends on what sort of clients and what sort of projects you are looking for. A big part of the learning we need to do (Yes, I had to do it) when we go freelance is the process of prospecting, marketing, and selling. I don't have the time for a structured answer to such a big question (it may make a good video for the second half of 2022) but, among the things you'll need to do is: - create a strong professional presence where you want to work (geographically and in the sector) and also online - find out what businesses are there and start to build contacts - network effectively - start making warm (if possible, cold if not) approaches to pitch your services - get good at proposal meetings/interviews The clients you need are where you are, or not far away. Get to know them and start a conversation.
@@Onlinepmcourses thanks a lot for the detailed answer. I'm from Egypt so you mean I can't work remotely for example a company in us or whatever? I want to specialize in marketing so maybe I can do it remotely worldwide?
@@MohamedPL777 Yes, of course you can work remotely. But finding the work will be a lot harder. You have to find the right opportunities. You'll need to look for recruitment sites that advertise roles in marketing for global organizations. When you find an opportunity, treat each one as a unique project and customize your resumé and application to that opportunity. Then, if you get to an interview, prepare carefully.

You're very welcome. I really enjoyed making this!
Great video Mike, thanks for documenting "our" history in an easy and informative style "as usual". I consider it as the year end gift :)
Well spotted - that's exactly why I chose the timing! Thank you.

Brilliant and fascinating. Thank you because I also enjoyed!
Glad to hear it - you're very welcome.

Wow, thank you!
Thank you Mike for the painstaking research and enlightening us on the historical aspects of the Project Management. My compliments & sincere thanks.
My pleasure!
Great video. I will use this in my project as a reference. Thank you.
You're welcome. Good luck with your project.
Be aware that this video is secondary research at best.
Excellent. I appreciate your efforts.
Thank you, Aniss.
This little history is very informative, thank you.
You're welcome.
Thanks for the history of PM, Mike! I wonder if the PM associations will merge someday. PMs should be on the same page. ;)

such a great and digestable crash course
Thank you!
👍
You're back!!!! 😊
Great content Mike. So you truly believe PMI PMBOK 7 is a step towards the right direction?
Thank you!
Thanks, MT. I do indeed.
Okay, a question for completeness: what about the use of design in project management? Something Kenneth Allinson called the "wildcard".
I'm afraid I don't follow. And I am not familiar with Kenneth Allinson. Please say some more for context?
