What Happened to Process Groups and Knowledge Areas?
ОглавлениеYou may be wondering, now that we’ve reviewed the new project management principles, whether the process groups and knowledge areas from prior PMBOK editions have disappeared entirely, never to be mentioned in the context of project management again? Well, of course that isn’t the case! While many terms have changed and concepts have been updated, it is important to retain an appreciation of the way things were, because you never know when it’ll prove valuable to you.
Figure 1-2 is a straightforward and comprehensive mapping of PMBOK 7 performance domains with PMBOK 7 project management principles, PMBOK 6 life cycle phases, and PMBOK 6 knowledge areas. This matrix view shows where each of these concepts intersect.
We won’t go into nearly as much detail on performance domains as we have on project management principles in this chapter. The performance domains are applications of the project management principles over the course of a project. Principles are closely correlated to the performance domains and, in fact, many principles even share similar names as their corresponding performance domains. The principles of project management are intended to guide the behaviors exhibited through each of the project performance domains.
Figure 1-2 indicates the most common intersections between the performance domains along the top row and the principles, phases, and knowledge areas down the first column, but don’t assume that these concepts cannot interact with each other differently for different projects, performed under different circumstances at different times. They most definitely can! We are confident that, after reading this book, you’ll be equipped to assess these interactions and apply them to your projects.
