The document provides an overview of project management concepts including defining a project, the role of a project manager, and the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). A project is a temporary endeavor to create a unique product or service. Project management involves coordinating resources to meet objectives for a project. The PMBOK defines the generally recognized practices and processes involved in project management.
The Project Manager is responsible for everything that is required to make the project a success - whether directly or indirectly. It is not like a typical hierarchical line management role. The Project Manager is at the centre of everything relating to the project. Controlling the contributions of seniors and peers is just as important as managing the work of the team. Here we have an overview of what exaclty Project Management is.
“A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result. The temporary nature of projects indicates a definite beginning and end.”

This document is part of a series that explain the newly released PMBOK 5th edition. These documents provide simple explanation and summary of the book. However they do not replace the necessity of reading the book.
This presentation discusses emerging trends in PMO governance and addresses three domains: the Portfolio Management Office, Program Management Office and Project Management Office.
Project management offices (PMOs) evolve through the project, program and portfolio management stages as they mature to meet ever-increasing business needs. A project management office can reduce the risk of project schedule slippage, cost overruns and scope creep by focusing on a standard project management process, basic tools and project manager development. A program management office can improve resource management across business and IT projects and programs by combining related business and IS projects into programs, as well as by implementing governance, communications programs and collaboration tools. A portfolio management office can contribute to business growth by optimizing the mix of project and program investments and focusing on benefits realization and knowledge management. CIOs must ensure that their PMOs master the basics of their current stage before they evolve them to the next stage

Students will find several direct links to the PMBoK in this text. First, the key terms and their definitions are intended to follow the PMBoK glossary (included as an appendix at the end of the text). Second, chapter introductions will also highlight references to the PMBoK as we address them in turn. We can see how each chapter not only adds to our knowledge of project management but also directly links to elements within the PMBoK. Finally, many end-of-chapter exercises and Internet references will require direct interaction with PMI through its Web site.
As an additional link to the Project Management Institute and the PMBoK, this text will include sample practice questions at the end of relevant chapters to allow students to test their in-depth knowledge of aspects of the PMBoK. Nearly 20 years ago, PMI instituted its Project Management Professional (PMP) certification as a means of awarding those with an expert knowledge of project management practice. The PMP certification is the highest professional designation for project management expertise in the world and requires in-depth knowledge in all nine areas of the PMBoK. The inclusion of questions at the end of the relevant chapters offers students a way to assess how well they have learned the important course topics, the nature of PMP certification exam questions, and to point to areas that may require additional study in order to master this material.

operations are ongoing and repetitive.
The purpose of a project is to attain its objective

have been attained, while operations adopt a
new set of objectives and the work continues.

The Project Management Body of Knowledge
Application area knowledge, standards, and
regulations
Understanding the project environment
General management knowledge and skills
Interpersonal skills
25. Project Management Body of
Knowledge
The primary purpose of the PMBOK is to
identify that subset of the Project Management
Body of Knowledge that is generally recognized
as good practice.
The PMBOK also provides and promotes a
common lexicon for discussing, writing, and
applying project management. Such a standard
lexicon is an essential element of a profession.
The PMBOK is a very popular, but not the sole
project management standard.
26. What is 'Good Practice'?
'Good practice' means that there is general
agreement that the correct application of these
skills, tools, and techniques can enhance the
chances of success over a wide range of
different projects.
Good practice does not mean that the
knowledge described should always be applied
uniformly on all projects; the project
management team is responsible for
determining what is appropriate for any given
project.

enterprise or to another functional unit in the
performing organization.
Examples...
34. Programs and Portfolios
A program is a group of related projects
managed in a coordinated way to obtain
benefits and control not available from
