...The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) By Duncan Haughey, PMP The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) is a collection of processes and knowledge areas generally accepted as best practice within the project management discipline. As an internationally recognised standard (IEEE Std 1490-2003) it provides the fundamentals of project management, irrespective of the type of project be it construction, software, engineering, automotive etc. PMBOK recognises 5 basic process groups and 9 knowledge areas typical of almost all projects. The basic concepts are applicable to projects, programs and operations. The five basic process groups are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Initiating Planning Executing Monitoring and Controlling Closing Processes overlap and interact throughout a project or phase. Processes are described in terms of: Inputs (documents, plans, designs, etc.) Tools and Techniques (mechanisms applied to inputs) Outputs (documents, products, etc.) The nine knowledge areas are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Project Project Project Project Project Project Project Project Project Integration Management Scope Management Time Management Cost Management Quality Management Human Resource Management Communications Management Risk Management Procurement Management Each knowledge area contains some or all of the project management processes.

...PMBOK has 9 knowledge areas and 5 basic process groups typical of almost all projects. These knowledge areas are Project Integration Management, Project Scope Management, Project Time Management, Project Cost Management, Project Quality Management, Project Human Resource Management, Project Communications Management, Project Risk Management, and Project Procurement Management. The 5 basic process groups are initiating, planning, executing, monitoring & controlling, and closing. This knowledge area focuses on the larger tasks that must be done for the project to work. It is the practice of making certain that every part of the project is coordinated. In Integration Management, the project is initiated, the project plan is planned and executed, the work is monitored and verification of the results of the work is performed. As the project ends the project manager also performs the tasks associated with closing the project. This knowledge area involves control of the scope of the project. It involves management of the requirements, details and processes. Changes to the scope should be handled in a structured, procedural, and controlled manner. The goal of scope management is to define the need, set the expectations, deliver to the expectations, manage changes, and minimize surprises and gain acceptance of the project. In Scope Management, the project is planned, monitored and controlled. Project Time Management is concerned with resources, activities, scheduling and schedule...

Java source filename extension is “.java”, and the Java bytecode filename extension is ".class" 2. Java is case sensitive? Java distinguish between uppercase and lowercase. The case for Java keywords, such as "String", “string”, "Int", “int”, etc, are different. 3. There is no effect on runtime performance between: a. Import java.util.Scanner; b. Import java.util.*; The facts are: • There is no runtime cost from using an import statement • The compilation process can take a little more time with an import statement • The compilation process can take even more time with a wildcard import statement • For improved readability, wildcard import statements are bad practice for anything but throwaway classes • The compilation overhead of non-wildcard import statements are minor, but they give readability benefits so best practice is to use them 4.

...An Introduction to PMBOK Guide 5th Edition: Knowledge Areas, Processes and Process Groups One of the most discussed tables in the Project Management Institute’s (PMI), A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, (PMBOK® Guide) Fifth Edition is the “Project Management Process Groups and Knowledge Areas Mapping” matrix, found in Table 3-1 on page 61. This table maps the 47 processes of project management to their corresponding Knowledge Area, as well as to their corresponding Process Group. At first glance, the table seems quite complicated, so let’s break it down and uncover why a solid understanding of the relationships between processes, Process Groups, and Knowledge Areas is important to anyone preparing to take the Project Management Professional (PMP) ® exam. It’s so important, in fact, that we suggest you memorize this matrix and the relationships it calls out. Memorizing the table will prove to be a valuable asset to you during your PMP Exam. What is a “Process” – 47 processes of project management? Let’s start with the building blocks of the matrix - what is a process? At its most basic level, a process is simply a way of transforming an input into an output using proven tools and techniques. The PMBOK® Guide defines a process as “a set of interrelated actions and activities performed to achieve a specified set of products, results, or services.” Good processes-based on sound principles and proven practices-are extremely important for a project’s success....

...make –up of the project lifecycle, failures that can occur within it and the effect that good project management has on delivering project success. 2.0 Describe the main phases of the project lifecycle. By implication, whether it be a dinner party or the complex development and construction of the Channel tunnel, the ‘project process’ follows the same route and to this end definable stages can be assigned to the task – these stages are referred to in combination as ‘the project life cycle’. As such the project life cycle, according to the PMBOK (2004), “defines the phases that connect the beginning of a project to its end” (2004, 19). Each of these phases can be referred to as a primary phase and they can be managed independently of each other. At this point, Baynon- Davies (2002) concurs with the PMBOK, advocating that each primary phase can then be broken down into a definable series of tasks and activities. According to the PMBOK (2004), many organisations apply a specific set of life cycles which they then relate to all their projects. Each life cycle represents a series of interlinked systems and sub systems which feed project information in both directions hopefully, towards a successful conclusion. It is the author’s belief that the...

...With limited resources in a highly competitive market, I would want to do everything possible to ensure that relationships that matter the most for the benefit of the project were the focus. I would want to cluster the candidates according to common needs and expectations. I would start by asking key questions. Does the candidate have a fundamental impact on the success of the project? Can the PM clearly identify what is desired from this candidate? Does the PM want to foster growth in this relationship? Can the project/PM exist without this candidate? Can this candidate remain loyal to the primary project first? I see this as the foundation of the project, and therefore the necessary element on which the project’s success would be built (PMBOK., 2013). 2. Scope Mgt. Defining what is needed is the first step in setting goals, establishing timelines, and allocating anticipated resources. To...
