Project Management Body of Knowledge

A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) The PMBOK® is an inclusive

term that describes the sum of knowledge within the profession of project management

PMBOK® Guide Identifies and describes that subset of the project management body of knowledge that is generally accepted

The Definition of a “Project”

Program: an exceptionally large, long-range objective that is broken down into a set of projects

Project: a specific, finite task to be accomplished

Task: set of activities comprising a project

A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide)

Key Players

Stakeholders Anyone actively involved, or have an interest at

stake in the project May have influence, responsibility, and authority

over the project

Project Team Individuals that are performing the project work Typically involves the use of cross-functional teams

Project Management Team Project team members that have management

responsibilities for the project

Key Players

Project Manager The individual with overall responsibility for the

project

Project Sponsor The individual with the authority and resources

needed to champion the project effort Typically functions as the linking pin between the

project and the parent organization

Customer The individual/organization that represents the

end-user of the project’s resulting product or service

Knowledge Areas

The knowledge areas represent the body of knowledge that a project manager must have in order to consistently deliver successful projects that meet a customer’s expectations in terms of scope, time, cost, and quality of the project deliverables

PMBOK nine knowledge areas

Project integration management Project scope management Project time management Project cost management Project quality management Project human resource management Project communications management Project risk management Project procurement management

PMBOK Initiating Processes

Initiation (5.1)—committing the organization to begin the next phase of the project.

Scope Planning —developing a written scope statement as the basis for future

project decisions.

Scope Definition —subdividing the major project deliverables into smaller, more manageable components.

Activity Definition —identifying the specific activities that must be performed to produce the various project deliverables.

Activity Sequencing —identifying and documenting interactivity dependencies.

Activity Duration Estimating —estimating the number of work periods which will be needed to complete individual activities.

Schedule Development —analyzing activity sequences, activity durations, and resource requirements to create the project schedule.

PMBOK Planning Processes

Resource Planning —determining what resources (people,

equipment, materials) and what quantities of each should be used to perform project activities.

Cost Estimating —developing an approximation (estimate) of the costs of the resources needed to complete project activities.

Cost Budgeting —allocating the overall cost estimate to individual work items.

Project Plan Development —taking the results of other planning processes and putting them into a consistent, coherent document.

PMBOK Planning Processes. cont.

Quality Planning —identifying which quality standards

are relevant to the project and determining how to satisfy them.

Organizational Planning —identifying, documenting, and assigning project roles, responsibilities, and reporting relationships.

Staff Acquisition —getting the human resources needed assigned to and working on the project.

Communications Planning —determining the information and communications needs of the stakeholders: who needs what information, when will they need it, and how will it be given to them

PMBOK Planning Processes cont.

Risk Identification —determining which risks are likely to

affect the project and documenting the characteristics of each.

Risk Quantification —evaluating risks and risk interactions to assess the range of possible project outcomes.

Risk Response Development —defining enhancement steps for opportunities and responses to threats.

Procurement Planning —determining what to procure and when.

Solicitation Planning —documenting product requirements and identifying potential sources

PMBOK Planning Processes cont.

PMBOK Executing Processes

Project Plan Execution —carrying out the project

plan by performing the activities included therein.

Scope Verification —formalizing acceptance of the project scope.

Quality Assurance —evaluating overall project performance on a regular basis to provide confidence that the project will satisfy the relevant quality standards.

Team Development —developing individual and group skills to enhance project performance.

Schedule Control —controlling changes to the project schedule.

Cost Control —controlling changes to the project budget.

PMBOK Controlling Processes

Quality Control —monitoring specific project

results to determine if they comply with relevant quality standards and identifying ways to eliminate causes of unsatisfactory performance.

Performance Reporting —collecting and disseminating performance information. This includes status reporting, progress measurement, and forecasting.
