PROJECT MANAGEMENT BOOK OF KNOWLEDGE

In a general sense, the project management body of knowledge would refer to all standard, generally

It is a collection of processes
and knowledge areas accepted as best practice for the project
management profession.
accepted project management information and practices.

As an internationally recognized standard (ANSI/PMI 99-0012008 and IEEE 1490-2011) it provides the fundamentals of
project management, irrespective of the type of project be it
construction, software, engineering, automotive.
PMBOK recognizes five basic process groups and ten knowledge
areas typical of almost all projects. The basic concepts are
applicable to projects, programs and operations. The five basic
process groups are:
1. Initiating
2. Planning
3. Executing
4. Monitoring and Controlling
5. Closing
Processes overlap and interact throughout a project or phase.
Processes are described in terms of:
Inputs (documents, plans, designs, etc.)
Tools and Techniques (mechanisms applied to inputs)
Outputs (documents, products, etc.)

The ten knowledge areas are:

1. Project Integration Management
2. Project Scope Management
3. Project Time Management
4. Project Cost Management
5. Project Quality Management
6. Project Human Resource Management
7. Project Communications Management
8. Project Risk Management
9. Project Procurement Management
10.
Project Stakeholder Management (added in the 5th
edition)
Each knowledge area contains some or all of the project
management processes. For example, Project Procurement
Management includes:
Plan Procurements
Conduct Procurements
Administer Procurements
Close Procurements

Much of PMBOK is unique to project management, for example,

critical path and work breakdown structure (WBS). Some areas
overlap with other management disciplines. General
management also includes planning, organizing, staffing,
executing and controlling the operations of an organization.
Financial forecasting, organizational behaviour and planning
techniques are also similar.
