About PMBoK methodology

The prevalent and hottest topic was the topic of project management on methodology described in PMBoK (Project Management Body of Knowledge), the guideline on project management body of knowledge accepted as the standard.

The standard is the single official document with entitlements, methods and processes. All this knowledge is based on best practices of project management experts who greatly contributed to the development of this standard.

There are 44 basic processes connected with project management in PMBoK. These processes are divided into 5 main process groups:

• initiating, necessary to define and authorize the project;
• planning, necessary to define and clarify aims, to forecast further actions to implement plans;
• execution, necessary to unite all resources to achieve the aims;
• monitoring and controlling, necessary to timely assess the project development, to track deviations and to adjust operations / actions;
• closing, necessary to adopt project results as well as to bring the project or its part to logical conclusion;

Modern tendencies in the services market are inevitably leading to rethinking how project group work can be managed and how an interdisciplinary team from employees of different company’s departments can be created.

That is why it is essential to understand and control all of the above-mentioned processes during the project life cycle.
