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

It is hard to imagine a time when A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge did not exist. The project management body of knowledge was first distilled by volunteers twenty years ago. The PMBOK® Guide is considered one of the most essential tools in the profession and is the defacto global standard for the industry. More than a million copies of the PMBOK Guide–2000 Edition have been used. Methodical updates occur on a four-year cycle to ensure that the information contained in this reference manual is continually improved and revised. How do you make the best even better? The bar is being set higher and the level of information included. The PMBOK® Guide–2000 Edition has a number of changes that users will find when they upgrade. The criteria for included information evolved from being accepted on most projects, most of the time, to being recognized as good practice on most projects. The PMBOK® Guide–Third Edition has an increased emphasis on processes, as well as highlighting that the five Process Groups are the key to the management of projects. Efforts have been made to make sure that all figures and tables have been updated for clarity and completeness. There have been changes in the project management industry since the previous edition. The official standard of the world’s leading project management organization, PMBOK® Guide – Third Edition is an essential reference tool.
