About Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide)– 2000 Edition
A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide)– 2000 Edition is your
basic reference and the world’s de facto standard for the project management profession. It was designated
an American National Standard (ANSI/PMI 99-001-2000) by the American National Standards Institute in March 2001.
The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) is an inclusive term that describes the sum
of knowledge within the profession of project management. The PMBOK® Guide identifies and describes
the subset of principles and practices within the PMBOK® that are generally accepted and applicable to most projects
most of the time. The guide also provides a common lexicon for talking about project management. Project management
is a relatively young profession, and while there is substantial commonality around what is done, there is relatively little commonality
in the terms used. An extensive glossary further aids in standardizing definitions of the most important concepts, terms, and phrases.
The Project Management Institute (PMI®) uses the PMBOK® Guide as one of the references for the
Project Management Professional (PMP®) Certification Examination - this is a "must have" for all those interested in pursuing PMP® certification.
