The monograph is about the project management (PM) in the concept of smart manufacturing
(Industry 4.0 – I 4.0). In the concept I 4.0, that is popularizing in the Fourth Industrial Revolution companies realize a lot of new projects. Each project has a defined scope, budget and a predetermined completion date (fix bid), and its implementation is according to the "waterfall" methodology or the agile approach (e.g. Scrum in IT projects). Smart manufacturing projects are new projects with many risks. Only the next ones succeed. Companies are not the universal path to I 4.0. Each realized project is specific. The authors in the monograph want to add to the knowledge of project management new aspects concerning the development of smart manufacturing projects (SMPs). Due to the wide range of changes in PM, the monograph is only an introduction to project management (PM) in SM. The monograph consists of four chapters dealing with aspects of SMPs.
