About PMBOK

The Project Management Body of Knowledge Guide is an internationally-recognized collection of guidelines and widely agreed-upon management practices organized and published by the Project Management Institute (PMI). The guide defines a model product life cycle, five general process stages, and nine knowledge areas used by professional project managers to achieve long-term goals.

The PMBOK methodology has many applications across a wide variety of businesses and industries. Construction, engineering, software development, marketing, and government firms are just some of the places you can find the practices being used. PMBOK is meant to function as a general guide that will work for most types of projects. For more specialized applications, such as construction and government, PMI provides official Extensions that complement the standard PMBOK Guide.

History

The guide was first published in 1987 as a technical white paper. It was formed over a series of workshops hosted by the Project Management Institute in the 1980s, and a basic framework for accrediting project management practitioners was put together at the same time.

In 1996, PMBOK was expanded and compiled as a full guide, incorporating changes based on the real-world experiences of PMI members. A second edition followed in 2000 with few revisions, but the Third Edition of 2004 brought some significant changes from the First Edition. An international board of editors is completing work on a new edition which will be released this year.

The Advantages of PMBOK

When you implement PMBOK methodology for your projects, you’re using an internationally recognized standard that translates across borders and disciplines. CAPM and PMP certifications in the approved practices not only let colleagues and clients know that you’re qualified but also directly translate into better project results.

This comprehensive tutorial series makes it easier than ever to acquire and maintain your certifications and gives you a deeper understanding of PMBOK that will show in the quality and efficiency of your work. More details on the PMBOK training courses
