The Origins of Cost Engineering

The latest paper in our series on the origins of project controls has been published in the March edition of Project Management World Journal.

This paper traces the origins of accounting, through cost accounting, to cost engineering. Download the full paper from: https://mosaicprojects.com.au/PMKI-ZSY-020.php#Process1

This is the part of a series of papers looking at the origins of the structures underpinning Earned Value Management (EVM):

1.       The History of Scheduling (these papers are stand-alone, but the schedule is a key support to EVM)

2.       The Origins of WBS & Management Charts

3.       The Origins of Cost Engineering

4.       The Origins of EVM (full update planned for mid-year)

As always, we are happy to receive feedback and additional information to help improve this history resource which is freely available to everyone: https://mosaicprojects.com.au/PMKI-ZSY.php
