Abstract

The history of large projects is often referred back as far as the construction of the Egyptian pyramids or the Great Wall of China. They were certainly large and complex structures, built to high standards, which must have liquidated vast amounts of resources. Unfortunately, there is no documentary evidence of any project management systems.(Burke 1993, pp. 1–2)
