If you recall, we opened this chapter with mention of the PMBOK’s evolution since its inception. For most of the past 35 years, from PMBOK 1 through PMBOK 6, there have been a number of structural updates, like distinguishing between The Standard for Project Management and A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge rather than simply the body of knowledge for project management.

There have also been substantive updates, such as the introduction of project management processes to demonstrate the linkages between the various knowledge areas or the inclusion of Agile methodology as it became mainstream.

We think you’ll find that the recent changes — to add project management principles and project performance domains and forego formal life cycle phases and knowledge areas — are the most transformational of all the changes to date. Whether we refer to these topics and skills as knowledge areas or performance domains, processes or principles, the underlying motivation for this shift is to refocus project managers on the holistic outcomes their stakeholders expect rather than the specific deliverables, artifacts, and other tangibles that are, more accurately, components of the overall outcomes.

The 12 project management principles defined by PMI in PMBOK 7 that will help you deliver your project’s intended outcomes include: Stewardship, Team, Stakeholders, Value, Systems Thinking, Leadership, Tailoring, Quality, Complexity, Risk, Adaptability and Resiliency, and Change.
