In order to do so, I first suggest what could be perceived as being the state of the field and its main constituting school of thoughts. Then I open the debate on what could be the ontological and epistemological perspectives enabling us to better take into account the diversity we face in considering the richness of the field. Based on these developments, I propose to address project management as a complex integrative knowledge field, which eventually will lead us to consider modelingdeveloping specific conventionto do ingeniously as acting and learning mode in the management of projectsThe purpose of this article is to suggest a possible meta approach of the project management fieldthe unit of analysisrespectful of the various perspectives in existence, while providing an integrative ontological and epistemological framework.
