Project management 2002

In the 13 years since Paul Klimstra and Joseph Potts offered readers of Research · Technology Management a view of the state of the art in managing R&D projects, a number of technological and behavioral developments have occurred that make it necessary to reconsider the current state of the discipline. This report considers some of the more significant changes and advances, and the current state of thinking in project management, based on a review of the literature and theoretical and empirical research from the decade of the 1990s. It encompasses the areas of risk management, scheduling, structure, project team coordination, control, and the impact of new technologies.
