Robert Martin contrasts traditional and agile project management and timeline methods in a nice article from 2003.
"Project plans are afflicted by uncertainties that turn schedules into random variables. Fortunately we can measure that randomness and use it to determine the probabilities that certain tasks will be complete by certain dates. Once we know the probabilities, we can manage the project by adjusting scope, manpower, and schedule so that the probability of a desirable outcome remains high."
Not to my surprise, Wikipedia has a concise but comprehensive description of Project Management from a number of perspectives.

Just FYI, the link to the article is goofy - I had to delete the beta.blogger.com/ part from the front.
Thanks! I fixed it, should be better now.
