A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 561110-18 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

• The history of project management can be traced back to the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, which was completed around 2560 BC. The project involved the coordination of thousands of workers, resources, and materials, and required careful planning and management. In the 20th century, project management became more formalized with the development of techniques such as the Critical Path Method (CPM) and Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) during the Cold War. These techniques were used to manage complex projects such as the development of the Polaris missile system. In recent years, project management has become increasingly important in a wide range of industries, including construction, information technology, and healthcare. The use of project management software and tools has also become more widespread, making it easier for project managers to plan, track, and manage projects. In the United States, project management has a relatively short history compared to other countries. The first project management institute, the Project Management Institute (PMI), was founded in 1969 in Pennsylvania. The PMI developed the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), which is now widely used as a standard for project management. In the 1980s, project management gained more recognition in the United States with the development of the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification. Since then, project management has become an essential part of many industries in the United States, including construction, engineering, and software development. The use of agile project management methodologies has also become more widespread in recent years, allowing project managers to respond more quickly to changing requirements and deliver projects more efficiently.
