Abstract
Project management has increasingly become an important part of business globally. Once referred to as the “accidental profession”, project management has recently made strides to become more professionalized. What results are now available? This project uses the case study research methodology to take an in-depth look into project management at a small to medium-sized enterprise. The case employs an empirically proven framework to compare and contrast accidental and intentional project management attitudes and traditional versus protean career approaches. Based on semi-structured interviews, documented evidence, and direct observation, the project suggests that accidental project management is still prevalent in industry, as are protean career attitudes. Additionally, this study recommends that a greater focus on early project management education may result in increased intentional entry into the profession.
