One, Two, Three…Wait, what? 123 Top Influencers in the Project Management Industry in 2016

Introduction

What exactly is project management? Well, we can always ask aunt Wikipedia and learn that it is “the discipline of initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing the work of a team to achieve specific goals and meet specific success criteria”. However, while these activities are and will probably always be the same when it comes to project management, the circumstances and environment are constantly changing. Not only thanks to the development of technology, the appearance of the network but also thanks to the people – those, who have shown the way for the others, the brave pioneers, who designed their own systems, introduced brilliant ideas into their teams, those who shaped the project management into its current form.

Today we have the honor to present a list of one hundred and twenty-three people, who in our opinion, made a significant influence on the project management that we know now.
