1.0. Abstract
The objective of this project was to enhance and enrich “A Guide to the Project Management Body Of Knowledge” (PMBOK®), 4th edition of Project Management Institute (PMI) by comparing and contrasting it with the following standards:
International Project Management Association (IPMA) International Competence Baseline (ICB) version 3.0 and related articles.
-
Association for Project Management (APM) Body of Knowledge (BOK), 5th edition, UK Professional Body for Project Professionals and related articles.
-
Project Planning and Project Management (P2M), volume I, II, Booklet, 2003, Association of Japan (PMAJ) and related articles
-
PRojects IN Controlled Environments (PRINCE2®), Office of Government Commerce (OGC) and related articles.
-
Scrum Agile Standard.
Structure of Project Report: For each standard, the driving forces for its adoption, its content, synergies and differences with PMBOK® are noted at a high level. New competencies and keywords from each standard are identified that are not covered, or adequately illustrated in PMBOK®. These new competencies are used to enhance (1) a particular section of Body of Knowledge (BOK) of PMBOK®and/or (2) the Input, Tools and Technique, Output (I/TT/O) of one or more of the 42 processes of PMBOK®.
Appendix: Includes a brief comparison between PMBOK® and other global standards, mapping of each standard with the Knowledge Areas (KAs) and Process Groups (PGs) of PMBOK®, enhancement to PMBOK® in a table, the Project Plan, lessons learned, list of abbreviations, and references.
