After World War II and in between that era the U.S. and Soviet Union were racing for research in developing defense technology for the government. Their approach was a new revolutionary way of project management. This was the intent of a new area of planning missions and a new way for organizing operations; these new methods of project management are still in place today and have changed the way business is conducted. The project that revolutionized this era was known as the Skunk Works. The rules were simple and to the point and the philosophy innovated and sparked a new wave on how operations were conducted in not only the military but also the world of business. The fact is that projects have to be planed and approached sometime from a level of simplicity the merges into a complex environment.
