FEATURED PAPER
Synergy between PMBOK® and MS Project 2007® A Schedule Management Perspective
By Satya Narayan Dash, PMP®, MCP®
and
Uttam Kumar Singh, PMP®, PAHM®
1. Abstract
MS Project 2007® (MSP) and the 3rd edition of Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) very much go hand in hand. While PMBOK® addresses the theoretical aspects, MSP seeks to implement them in a practical manner. However, there are some differences between the terms and terminologies, but the core concepts remain the same. This paper focuses on - how best a PMP® or a professional with sound understanding on PMBOK® Guide can use and apply MSP for Schedule Management, by exploiting the synergy between MSP and PMBOK® Guide.
2. Introduction
The major comparisons between PMI-PMP®/PMBOK® and MSP are outlined with primary focus on the Schedule Management, which corresponds to the Time Management Knowledge Area (KA) of PMBOK® guide. Schedule or Time is one of the major constraints out of the traditional triple constraints in management. To have a complete understanding, certain Input, Tools and Techniques and Outputs of other KAs, such as Scope Management KA and Integration Management KA from PMBOK® guide, have been used.
In some places of the document, PMBOK® and PMBOK® Guide are used interchangeably.
