However it was only in the latter half of the 20th century people started to talk about project management earlier endeavours were seen as acts of worship engineering nation building etc. And the people controlling the endeavours called themselves priests engineers architects etc. Whilst the Manhattan Project to build the atomic bomb in the 1940s is generally considered the first program its managers primarily saw their roles either as military officers or scientists.
