1.8 Project Management Body of Knowledge

The PMBOK Guide contains the standard for managing most projects most of the time across many types of
®
industries. The standard, included in Annex A1, describes the project management processes used to manage a
project toward a more successful outcome.

This standard is unique to the project management field and has interrelationships to other project management
disciplines such as program management and portfolio management.

Project management standards do not address all details of every topic. This standard is limited to individual
projects and the project management processes that are generally recognized as good practice. Other standards
may be consulted for additional information on the broader context in which projects are accomplished, such as:

• The Standard for Program Management [3] addresses the management of programs,

• The Standard for Portfolio Management [4] addresses the management of portfolios,
®
• Organizational Project Management Maturity Model (OPM3 ) [5] examines an enterprise’s project
management process capabilities.
