In the one Wikipedia:Articles for deletion discussion 11 september 2015, I voted for deletion, because the lemma had been turned into an "over-detailed promotional press release," while the contributor had claimed to "Simply performed an update to the page." A trim back of the lemma would have been appropriate, however that didn't solve the problem of the lack of secondary sources.

Now this lemma has been rebuild from scratch, starting with the quotes listed below. Although those quotes are only a selection of the actual sources available, they do show that the International Project Management Association has stirred up some of the backstage of the European Project Management scene over the years. This lemma is first of all designed to inform about the most notable events in the past 50+ years. I do believe this restart meets the Wikipedia's requirements for inclusion. -- Mdd (talk) 22:24, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Paralelamente com o desenvolvimento do gerenciamento na América do Norte, alguns profissionais europeus da Suécia, França, Holanda e Alemanha iniciaram conversações para a criação de um fórum de debates sobre a implantação de projetos com qualidade, no prazo e dentro do orçamento. Assim, em 1964, começaram a ser ministrados cursos, dentro desse espirito, na Associação Francesa de Pesquisa Operacional, de onde se partiu para a criação de uma rede internacional que levou o nome de International Network (Internet). Em 1965, foi fundada a International Management Systems Association (Imsa), permanecendo o nome de Internet como marca da associação. Em vários países da Europa Ocidental e Oriental, surgiram associações nacionais, que se foram interligando através do Internet, que passou a ser um tipo de federação de associações, estimuladora da criação de outras associações nacionais. O primeiro congresso do Internet foi celebrado em 1967, congregando delegados de 32 países, e vem-se repetindo a cada dois anos. Em 1981, foi celebrado o Congresso-Simpósio Conjunto PMI - Internet em Boston, marcando o início de um processo de maior intercâmbio entre essas associações.

 * Translation: In parallel with the development of management in North America, some European professionals from Sweden, France, the Netherlands and Germany began discussions to create a forum for debates on the implementation of quality projects, both on time and within budget. Thus, in 1964, courses began to be given, within this spirit, to the French Association of Operational Research, from where it was set up to create an international network that took the name of International Network (Internet). In 1965, the International Management Systems Association (Imsa) was founded, remaining the name of Internet as a brand of the association. In several countries of Western and Eastern Europe, national associations have emerged, which have been interconnected through the Internet, which has become a kind of federation of associations, stimulating the creation of other national associations. The first Internet congress was held in 1967, bringing together delegates from 32 countries, and repeating itself every two years. In 1981, the PMI - Internet Joint Symposium - Congress was held in Boston, marking the beginning of a process of greater interchange among these associations.

 * PMI has taken the lead in providing this service. It is the largest of the project-management professional organizations, and is represented in the largest number of countries. The International Project Management Association (INTERNET) has recently taken steps to develop a European certification program along traditional English lines. The Australian Institute of Project Management and the Engineering Advancement Association of Japan, along with INTERNET, have support and working agreements with PMI to help extend the influence of professionalism in Project Management.

 * Back in 1995, an article in Fortune magazine first spotlighted project management on a international scale as the number one profession in terms of employability. The article, "Planning Your Career in a World Without Managers" by Tom Stewart, pointed out that project manager was "the career of the decade." As Stewart noted, project management personnel have the capability and flexibility to respond to new situations; their fixation on bringing projects in on time, within budget, and to quality performance standards means that a company putting its initiatives in the hands of project professionals comes out ahead.
 * About the same time, the question of competence began to be addresses by various project management associations, such as the Australian Institute of Project Management, the International Project Management Association, the British Association of Project Managers, and the Project Management Institute. Both individuals and corporate members started pressuring the associations to come up with a way to measure an individual's competence at managing projects.
 * Paul C. Dinsmore (1999), Winning in Business with Enterprise Project Management, p. 155


 * PMI's European counterpart has had a different evolution. A meeting was held in Vienna in 1967 to take stock of the network planning techniques then believed necessary, or at least beneficial, for the management of modern projects. This meeting was entitled INTERNET 67. The subject stimulated such interest that it was decided five years later (after a second INTERNET congress in Amsterdam in 1969) to form a more permanent project management society: the International Management Systems Association (ISMA) was formed after the third INTERNET congress in Stockholm in 1972, still, however, with the emphasis on network planning and the management science aspects of project management tools, which it was to keep for most of the 1970s. ISMA was also different from PMI in having much more independent national organizations. Whereas PMI has local chapters whose function is to organize events at the local level, IMSA has national societies which exist in their own right with their own constitutions, officers and memberships. Project management publications have been created by IMSA at national and international levels. IMSA changed its name in 1979 to the International Project Management Association.

 * The ascension of PM as a management device in the 1960s gave a lot of people of varied backgrounds - mainly engineers - a common interest. These PM specialists needed an arena for cooperation and mutual self-recognition, so the Project Management Institute (PMI) was founded in the U.S. in 1969, and Internet was founded in Europe 1965. Since the term "Internet" eventually became associated with other areas than PM, the association changed its name to the International Project Management Association (IPMA) in 1994. The Swedish association, Foreningen Natplan ("Network Planning Association"), changed its name to SvensktProjekt Forum ("Swedish Project Forum") in 1968, and is now a member association of IPMA.
 * Both PMI and IPMA are mebership based. based. PMI members can join and create local chapters that form PMI's local networks. IPMA consists of a number of national associations in which both individuals and corporations can hold memberships. IPMA is in this sense less centralized than PMI. Building local networks is a major concern of both PMI and IPMA. In 1999, PMI had over 140 chapters in over 45 countries, while IPMA had national associations in 29 countries. In 1989, PMI had 5,000 members; this number increased to 17,000 in 1995, 32,000 in 1998, 45,000 in 1999, and 100,000 in 2002.

 * There are only two aspects of competence identified in Fig. 2 for which there are recognised project management standards. These are:
 * Knowledge, represented by bodies of knowledge such as the APM Body of Knowledge [26], the ICB: IPMA Competence Baseline [27] and PMBOK Guide [28] and
 * Demonstrable performance or use of project management practices...
 * At the time of commencement of the study the PMBOK Guide in its 1996 version, was the most widely distributed of the available knowledge guides, and was the basis for the most widely adopted project management certification program. As illustration of this, in 1999, 250,000 copies of the PMBOK Guide [33] had been distributed worldwide and 17,000 people had been certified as part of the Project Management Institute s Project Management Professional program [35]. By comparison, at the same time (1999), approximately 670 people had received the IPMA s ‘‘four-level validated’’ certification [36]. Also on 21st September 1999 the PMBOK Guide [33] was approved as an American National Standard (ANSI/PMI 99-001-1999) [37] and was subsequently adopted as an IEEE Standard [37].

 * Did you know that IPMA (International Project Management Association) is our third name in 40 years? The first name was IMSA (International Management Systems Association).
 * In 1964, along with an European aircraft project Pierre Koch of France invited Dick Vullinghs from The Netherlands and Roland Gutsch from Germany to discuss the benefits of the Critical Path Method (CPM) as a management approach. CPM shows a way to manage huge projects with international sponsors, uncertain results as well as with complex influences and dependencies from different technical disciplines. This group was chaired by Yves Eugene from AFIRO (Association Française d´Informatique et de Recherche Opérationnelle). Professor Arnold Kaufmann suggested an INTERnational NETwork - INTERNET.
 * 1965 this group of people founded the IMSA, independent from companies and officially located in Switzerland, the most respected and politically neutral country in Western Europe in these days of the “Cold War”. Insiders called this decision very beneficial for Roland Gutsch. He lived in Friedrichshafen at the north shore of the Lake of Constance so it was very convenient for him to take the ferry to Switzerland for chocolates and cigarettes.

 * PMWT: What is IPMA, in your words? What kind of organization is it?
 * Valila: The International Project Management Association, or IPMA, is a federation of independent member organizations. The independent member associations really hold the power. So IPMA is an association of local project management associations, and very decentralized by nature. IPMA serves its member associations and their local members. They both are IPMA’s customers. The question we have to address among IPMA leaders is, How to serve the member associations better?
 * PMWT: How many member societies are currently included? And how many individuals does that represent?
 * Valila: IPMA has today 45 member associations, located in 41 countries. Our newest member association is in Turkey, which is growing rapidly. As for the number of individuals, that is harder to answer. Each national association has its own membership model, for example, with individual and corporate members.

 * The UK branch of INTERNET (now the APM), was originated by the ‘pioneering seven’ whose meeting at an INTERNET (later IPMA) expert seminar in Zurich in 1971 inspired them to start a UK branch, which held its first meeting in London in May 1972. The first executive meeting on INTERNET(UK) was held in the lobby of the Sheraton Hotel, Stockholm on the 13 th May 1972 during the 3rd annual world congress of INTERNET. Jack Grimshaw was the original chairman, others in the founding group included Dr Jim Gordon and Dennis Gower. Annual membership fees were set at ₤1, and within a month membership had reached 78 (PMI at the time were charging ₤7).
 * Patrick Weaver (2007), The origins of Modern Project Management. p. 22-23 footnote


 * By the 10th meeting in Vienna in 1990 this expansion of focus had really kicked in with the agenda formally including the expanded concept of ‘project management’ as a holistic, integrated process. This expanded format also had the effect of dramatically increasing attendance at the congress with a flow-on to increased interest in the member associations.
 * The emergence of a totally different ‘internet’ and this shifting focus prompted the name changes to IPMA (International Project Management Association) and APM (Association for Project Management) respectively. IPMA is now primarily an umbrella organisation for some 40+ national associations from around the world, APM is the UK member of IPMA and AIPM is the Australian member.

 * Well over 50% of the people in each of the groups that founded PMI in the USA, INTERNET in Europe (now IPMA) and the UK branch of INTERNET (now APM) were schedulers and a large proportion of the remainder cost engineers. . Recollections of early conferences and the early publications from these bodies suggest that their focus was almost exclusively on project controls and in particular ‘critical path scheduling’. It is therefore, reasonable to argue that the spread of scheduling linked to the need to make effective use of the data generated by the schedulers as they calculated their critical paths, was the catalyst that created modern project management.

 * The evolution of project management and project managers
 * Over the past 10 years, various standards have emerged and have helped to increase the degree of professionalism of project management. The International Project Management Association (IPMA) that represents members of various national organizations primarily in Europe, Asia, and Africa [37] "has developed its own standards and certification program which is comprised of a central framework and quality assurance process plus national programs developed by association members" [95, p. 241]. In 1996, the Australian Institute of Project Management (AIPM) published its National Competency Standard for Project Management [6], which "was adopted by the Australian Government as part of that country’s national qualification system" [17, p. 253]. The Association for Project Management in England also created "competency standards" around project control and project management. Other national project management organizations of significant size are actively involved in the development of the "profession" in South Africa, Japan, and China.

 * More and more practitioners started using project management techniques and terminology. In 1965 a network for project managers called “Internet” was founded in Europe.

 * In 1965, this group of people founded the IMSA (International Management Systems Association), independent from companies and officially located in Switzerland, the most respected and politically neutral country in Western Europe in these days of the “Cold War”. Two years later the Czechoslovak Project Management Science Group issued invitations to join the first “all-state” conference on the “Methods of Network Analysis” in Prague. PhD Vladimira Machova was the host beside the political officials in those days. Then, with the sponsorship of the International Computer Centre in Rome, managed by Professor Claude Berge, the first International World Congress took place in Vienna. From then on INTERNET was the official association name. In 1981, world experts on “Network Planning” were invited to the first joint INTERNET-PMI (Project Management Institute) Congress in Boston. The Chairman was Robert B. Gillis, who was in these days member of the Board of INTERNET. In 1996, AFITEP in France organised the 13th World Congress (1996) in Paris. INTERNET got a namesake – a new international telecommunication system. The Executive Board (ExBo) renamed INTERNET to IPMA (our third and current name), but retained the logo.
