Abstract

The three basic philosophies concerning projects are project ontology, project
epistemology and project methodology. The logical precedence of these
ideologies goes as: ontology followed by epistemology – followed by
methodology. Project management process starts when the ontological
framework is devised for the project, i.e. much before than describing
epistemological dimensions of the projects. This research paper, through
Archival Research methodology, attempts to identify the underpinnings as well
as weaknesses of the epistemological dimensions due to the ontological
framework chosen at the start of the projects. In doing so, this research paper
identifies the shortcomings of the project management evolution and proposes
a more detailed evolution process. This paper has also tried to relate the societal
advancements to the successes of some projects as well as ‘the same’ to the
failures of others.
