The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) is a set of standard terminology and guidelines (a body of knowledge) for project management. The body of knowledge evolves over time and is presented in A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide), a book whose seventh edition was released in 2021. This document results from work overseen by the Project Management Institute (PMI), which offers the CAPM and PMP certifications.
The PMBOK Guide is intended to be a "subset of the project management body of knowledge that is generally recognized as a good practice. 'Generally recognized' means the knowledge and practices described are applicable to most projects most of the time and there is a consensus about their value and usefulness. 'Good practice' means there is a general agreement that the application of the knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques can enhance the chance of success over many projects."[9] This means that sometimes the "latest" project management trends, often promoted by consultants, may not be part of the latest version of The PMBOK Guide.
Each of the ten knowledge areas contains the processes that need to be accomplished within its discipline in order to achieve effective project management. Each of these processes also falls into one of the five process groups, creating a matrix structure such that every process can be related to one knowledge area and one process group.
A Guide to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK Guide) is developed through a rigorous consensus-driven standards process, the BABOK Guide incorporates the collective wisdom and experience of experts in the field from around the world. It defines the skills and knowledge required by business analysis professionals covering the six knowledge areas and the business analysis competency model.
The digital version of the Geographic Information Science & Technology Body of Knowledge (BoK) is now online at gistbok.ucgis.org! This dynamic, digital platform supports more innovative and applied uses of this knowledge. We have put in place a stable information architecture combined with robust strategies for content management and curation. UCGIS is eager for new audiences, including natural learning communities focused on various domain areas or interests (e.g. Critical GIS, CyberGIS, Geodesign and Sustainability, among others) and other non-technical end users to interact and engage with these materials.
The SEBoK provides a guide to the key knowledge sources and references of systems engineeringsystems engineering organized and explained to assist a wide variety of individuals. It is a living product, accepting community input continuously, with regular refreshes and updates. The SEBoK is not a compendium but instead references existing literature.
The SEBoK is a guide to the broad scope of SE-related knowledge. The core of this is tested and proven knowledge that has been developed through practice, documented, reviewed, and discussed by the SE community. In addition, the SEBoK also covers some of the emerging aspects of SE practice, such as Systems of Systems, Agile Life Cycle approaches and Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE).
As the profession of software engineering evolves and matures, it must achieve some of the critical elements needed for recognition as a bona fide discipline. Among these elements are the establishment of a recognized body of knowledge (BOK) and certification of professional practitioners.
PMI's flagship publication has been updated to reflect the latest good practices in project management. New to the Sixth Edition, each knowledge area will contain a section entitled Approaches for Agile, Iterative and Adaptive Environments, describing how these practices integrate in project settings. It will also contain more emphasis on strategic and business knowledge -- including discussion of project management business documents -- and information on the PMI Talent Triangle? and the essential skills for success in today's market.
Business Process Management professionals can now access a Common Body of Knowledge in their own language. The BPM CBOK provides fundamental knowledge, skills and competencies required for all BPM practitioners as well as provides links and references to other sources of information and practices which are part of the broader BPM Common Body of Knowledge.
This Guide to the BPM CBOK provides the fundamental knowledge, skills and competencies required for all BPM practitioners. The primary purpose of this guide is to provide an overview of the Knowledge Areas that are generally recognized and accepted as good practice in the BPM profession. The Guide provides a foundational overview of each Knowledge Area and outlines the additional skills and competencies needed for each Knowledge Area. The Guide also provides links and references to other sources of information and practices which are part of the broader BPM Common Body of Knowledge.
