This paper suggests that were three main motivations driving Peter Morris to develop the Management of Projects (MoP) as an alternative approach to traditional project management: first, the need to improve the performance and practice of project management; second, the need to understand the history, context and challenges facing society; and third the need to engage with theory and scholarship. The paper draws upon Peter’s three main single or co-authored books which form the corpus of his work on MoP.
