Project Management Institute recognises 50 Most Influential Projects over 5 decades

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 8 -- The Project Management Institute (PMI) has announced the top 50 notable and influential projects over the past 50 years in its list of Most Influential Projects.

“This list demonstrates PMI’s vision of how excellence in project execution will be critical in meeting the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow,” said PMI president and chief executive officer, Sunil Prashara.

The Most Influential Projects list recognises projects that have transformed their sectors and the entire business landscape from technology to healthcare, infrastructure to architecture, finance to entertainment.

The top ranked project is the creation of the World Wide Web, according to a statement.

Honourees include iconic achievements such as Apollo 11, the Boeing 747® airplane, and the Human Genome Project, as well as under-the-radar triumphs like the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway and China’s Tengger Desert Solar Park.

Recipients were chosen from over 1,000 high-impact projects identified by 400 leaders in the global project management community, including PMI chapter leaders and members, as well as academics and industry experts.

The list is part of PMI’s larger 50th anniversary celebration to recognise the important role project management has played over the past five decades and celebrate where the profession is going.

In addition to the top 50 list, PMI also released the top 10 most influential projects across 14 categories in a variety of regions and industries. The full list is available at https://mip.pmi.org.
