Rating: 3.5/5 Stars
Rank: 1552
A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®
Guide)– 2000 Edition is your basic reference and the world’s de
facto standard for the project management profession.
It was designated an
American National Standard (ANSI/PMI 99-001-2000) by the American National
Standards Institute in March 2001.
The Project Management Body of
Knowledge (PMBOK®) is an inclusive term that describes the sum of
knowledge within the profession of project management.
The PMBOK®
Guide identifies and describes the subset of principles and practices
within the PMBOK® that are generally accepted and applicable to most
projects most of the time.
The guide also provides a common lexicon for
talking about project management. Project management is a relatively young
profession, and while there is substantial commonality around what is done,
there is relatively little commonality in the terms used.
An extensive
glossary further aids in standardizing definitions of the most important
concepts, terms, and phrases.
The Project Management Institute
(PMI®) uses the PMBOK® Guide as one of the references for the
Project Management Professional (PMP®) Certification Examination.
Major revisions and expansions of this edition include: • Aligned
newly added processes, tools, and techniques with the five project
processes and nine knowledge areas.
For example, reserve time, variance
analysis, and activity attributes were added to Chapter 6 (Project Time
Management); estimating publications and earned value were added to
Chapter 7 (Project Cost Management); and project reports, project
presentations, and project closure were added to Chapter 10 (Project
Communications Management).
• Added a section in Chapter 2 to
acknowledge the role of the Project Office; expanded the treatment of
earned value management in Chapter 4 and Chapter 10; and added a brief
discussion of the Theory of Constraints in Chapter 6.
• Expanded
Chapter 11 (Project Risk Management) to include six processes instead of
the previous four: Risk Management Planning, Risk Identification, Risk
Assessment, Risk Quantification, Risk Response Planning, and Risk
Monitoring and Control.
• Strengthened the linkage between
organizational strategy and project management throughout. The
PMBOK® Guide is one of those indispensable tools that you will want
at your fingertips, both at work and in your home office.
Selected as a
suggested resource for CAPM®, CAQ® Automotive Product
Development, CAQ Capital Projects, CAQ Information Technology Systems, CAQ
Information Technology Networking, and CAQ Project Management Office exam
preparation.
