IN TRODU CTION
1.1 OVERVIEW AND PURPOSE OF THIS GUIDE
Project management is not new. It has been in use for hundreds of years. Examples of project outcomes include:
uu
Pyramids of Giza,
uu
Olympic games,
uu
Great Wall of China,
uu
Taj Mahal,
uu
Publication of a children’s book,
uu
Panama Canal,
uu
Development of commercial jet airplanes,
uu
Polio vaccine,
uu
Human beings landing on the moon,
uu
Commercial software applications,
uu
Portable devices to use the global positioning system (GPS), and
�
�
uu
Placement of the International Space Station into Earth’s orbit.
The outcomes of these projects were the result of leaders and managers applying project management practices,
principles, processes, tools, and techniques to their work. The managers of these projects used a set of key skills and
applied knowledge to satisfy their customers and other people involved in and affected by the project. By the mid-20th
century, project managers began the work of seeking recognition for project management as a profession. One aspect
of this work involved obtaining agreement on the content of the body of knowledge (BOK) called project management.
This BOK became known as the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). The Project Management Institute
(PMI) produced a baseline of charts and glossaries for the PMBOK. Project managers soon realized that no single book
could contain the entire PMBOK. Therefore, PMI developed and published A Guide to the Project Management Body of
Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide).
PMI defines the project management body of knowledge (PMBOK) as a term that describes the knowledge within the
profession of project management. The project management body of knowledge includes proven traditional practices
that are widely applied as well as innovative practices that are emerging in the profession.
1
The body of knowledge (BOK) includes both published and unpublished materials. This body of knowledge is
constantly evolving. This PMBOK® Guide identifies a subset of the project management body of knowledge that is
generally recognized as good practice.
uu
Generally recognized means the knowledge and practices described are applicable to most projects most of the
time, and there is consensus about their value and usefulness.
uu
Good practice means there is general agreement that the application of the knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques
to project management processes can enhance the chance of success over many projects in delivering the
expected business values and results.
The project manager works with the project team and other stakeholders to determine and use the appropriate
generally recognized good practices for each project. Determining the appropriate combination of processes, inputs,
tools, techniques, outputs and life cycle phases to manage a project is referred to as “tailoring” the application of the
knowledge described in this guide.
This PMBOK® Guide is different from a methodology. A methodology is a system of practices, techniques,
procedures, and rules used by those who work in a discipline. This PMBOK® Guide is a foundation upon which
organizations can build methodologies, policies, procedures, rules, tools and techniques, and life cycle phases
needed to practice project management.
1.1.1 THE STANDARD FOR PROJECT MANAGEMENT
This guide is based on The Standard for Project Management [1]. A standard is a document established by an authority,
custom, or general consent as a model or example. As an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard, The
Standard for Project Management was developed using a process based on the concepts of consensus, openness, due
process, and balance. The Standard for Project Management is a foundational reference for PMI’s project management
professional development programs and the practice of project management. Because project management needs to
be tailored to fit the needs of the project, the standard and the guide are both based on descriptive practices, rather
than prescriptive practices. Therefore, the standard identifies the processes that are considered good practices on most
projects, most of the time. The standard also identifies the inputs and outputs that are usually associated with those
processes. The standard does not require that any particular process or practice be performed. The Standard for Project
Management is included as Part II of A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide).
The PMBOK® Guide provides more detail about key concepts, emerging trends, considerations for tailoring the project
management processes, and information on how tools and techniques are applied to projects. Project managers may
use one or more methodologies to implement the project management processes outlined in the standard.

Part 1 - Guide
The scope of this guide is limited to the discipline of project management, rather than the full spectrum of portfolios,
programs, and projects. Portfolios and programs will be addressed only to the degree they interact with projects. PMI
publishes two other standards that address the management of portfolios and programs:
uu
The Standard for Portfolio Management [2], and
uu
The Standard for Program Management [3].
1.1.2 COMMON VOCABULARY
A common vocabulary is an essential element of a professional discipline. The PMI Lexicon of Project Management
Terms [4] provides the foundational professional vocabulary that can be consistently used by organizations, portfolio,
program, and project managers and other project stakeholders. The Lexicon will continue to evolve over time. The
glossary to this guide includes the vocabulary in the Lexicon along with additional definitions. There may be other
industry-specific terms used in projects that are defined by that industry’s literature.
1.1.3 CODE OF ETHICS AND PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT
PMI publishes the Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct [5] to instill confidence in the project management
profession and to help an individual in making wise decisions, particularly when faced with difficult situations where the
individual may be asked to compromise his or her integrity or values. The values that the global project management
community defined as most important were responsibility, respect, fairness, and honesty. The Code of Ethics and
Professional Conduct affirms these four values as its foundation.
The Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct includes both aspirational standards and mandatory standards. The
aspirational standards describe the conduct that practitioners, who are also PMI members, certification holders, or
volunteers, strive to uphold. Although adherence to the aspirational standards is not easily measured, conduct in
accordance with these is an expectation for those who consider themselves to be professionals—it is not optional. The
mandatory standards establish firm requirements and, in some cases, limit or prohibit practitioner behavior. Practitioners
who are also PMI members, certification holders, or volunteers and who do not conduct themselves in accordance with
these standards will be subject to disciplinary procedures before PMI’s Ethics Review Committee.

1.2 FOUNDATIONAL ELEMENTS
This section describes foundational elements necessary for working in and understanding the discipline of project
management.
1.2.1 PROJECTS
A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result.
uu
Unique product, service, or result. Projects are undertaken to fulfill objectives by producing deliverables.
An objective is defined as an outcome toward which work is to be directed, a strategic position to be attained,
a purpose to be achieved, a result to be obtained, a product to be produced, or a service to be performed.
A deliverable is defined as any unique and verifiable product, result, or capability to perform a service that is
required to be produced to complete a process, phase, or project. Deliverables may be tangible or intangible.
Fulfillment of project objectives may produce one or more of the following deliverables:
nuA
unique product that can be either a component of another item, an enhancement or correction to an item,
or a new end item in itself (e.g., the correction of a defect in an end item);
nuA
unique service or a capability to perform a service (e.g., a business function that supports production
or distribution);
nuA unique result, such as an outcome or document (e.g., a research project that develops knowledge that can
be used to determine whether a trend exists or a new process will benefit society); and
nuA unique combination of one or more products, services, or results (e.g., a software application, its associated
documentation, and help desk services).
Repetitive elements may be present in some project deliverables and activities. This repetition does not change
the fundamental and unique characteristics of the project work. For example, office buildings can be constructed
with the same or similar materials and by the same or different teams. However, each building project remains
unique in key characteristics (e.g., location, design, environment, situation, people involved).
Projects are undertaken at all organizational levels. A project can involve a single individual or a group. A project
can involve a single organizational unit or multiple organizational units from multiple organizations.

Part 1 - Guide
Examples of projects include but are not limited to:
nuDeveloping a new pharmaceutical compound for market,
nuExpanding a tour guide service,
nuMerging two organizations,
nuImproving a business process within an organization,
nuAcquiring and installing a new computer hardware system for use in an organization,
nuExploring for oil in a region,
nuModifying a computer software program used in an organization,
nuConducting research to develop a new manufacturing process, and
nuConstructing a building.
uu
Temporary endeavor. The temporary nature of projects indicates that a project has a definite beginning and end.
Temporary does not necessarily mean a project has a short duration. The end of the project is reached when one
or more of the following is true:
nuThe project’s objectives have been achieved;
nuThe objectives will not or cannot be met;
nuFunding is exhausted or no longer avai...
