The paper sets out a philosophical discussion of the fundamentals of project management and this revision responds to some of the latest issues raised. Project management is a composite activity with multiple dimensions. Depending on the type and class of project this management activity can be very complex, not least because the typical project environment echoes the fractal form of the common garden snail’s shell. That is to say, the same approach can be applied at every level of the management hierarchy and only the size and branch of the activity changes. For example: on a very large project, it may well be subdivided into sub-projects each of which is managed as a project in its own right.
