Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856-1915) is regarded as the father of scientific management who sort to improve industrial efficiency. Frederick was followed by Henry Laurence Gantt (1861-1919) who is considered the father of planning and control techniques. His Gantt Charts were used on projects such as the Hoover Dam and US Interstate Highway System. Up until the 1950's, projects were managed on a rather informal and ad hoc manner. It wasn't until the advent of the Polaris Missile Submarine Programme (1950's) that mathematical models were developed (e.g. PERT by Booz-Allen & Hamilton, Critical Path Method by the DuPont Corporation and Remington Rand Corporation). These techniques were evolved by the American Association of Cost Engineers (AACE). Active participation by the US DoD saw the introduction of earned value in the 1960's, however it has only really started to be used after 2000 when the methods of recording data to feed the methodology began to be implemented by companies. 1969 is another key milestone with the formation of the Project Management Institute (PMI) that was created to serve the interests of the PM industry. 1972 saw the formation of the Association of Project Managers (APM), a registered UK Charity committed to developing project and programme management. 1981 saw the start of the creation of the PM Body of Knowledge Guide. Microsoft entered the arena around 1984 with the first commercial version of Microsoft Project, however it wasn't until the 1995 (after several iterations) that it became the common office PM software for PMs. 1989 saw the launch of PRINCE (PRojects IN controlled Environments) a structure methodology for UK public projects by the UK CCTA, followed by a release of PRINCE2 in 1996. 2007 saw the launch of the APM plan to achieve Chartered Status for the PM profession in the UK.
