Project managers rely on a good design to avoid pitfalls and provide parameters to maintain crucial aspects of the project, like the schedule and the budget.

Project management practices have been used since human beings first started to work together to achieve greater outcomes than they could have accomplished as individuals. Modern practice of the profession started in the 1950’s so it is natural that certain practices, tools and nomenclature will be discarded as the profession evolves. Unfortunately, some anachronistic project management terms still linger in spite of overwhelming evidence that their time has passed.
