Dear Readers: This mapping has been compiled between the Project Management Process Groups and Project

Management
Knowledge Areas on the x and y axis, respectively; and practices of CMMI®-Dev, Version 1.3 in-between them. The Project
Management Process Groups and knowledge area matrix is from the PMBOK® and the CMMI® SPs & GPs have been mapped by the
author. You may notice that the technical activities (like design) of a project do not appear in this compilation, as "Project
Management Body of Knowledge" does not and can not cover technical aspects of the project . Comments and suggestions may
please be sent to the author, Ribhu Lavania at ribhu@qmentors.com .
