Abstract
Project Management (PM) has a history of successes and failures. Traditional Project Management according to the Project Management Book of Knowledge (PMBoK) gives us a framework for useful tools like charters, work breakdown structures and schedules. Methodologies like waterfall have evolved into iterative and adaptive methodologies like Agile. Scrum is a framework for addressing "complex adaptive problems" that is getting a lot of press these days. No one methodology, tool or technique will solve all problems, but being aware of the roots of Project Management and of advances in PM could save us all time, money, pain and suffering in academic Information Technology.
