Project Management Body of Knowledge is an American National Standard Institute (ANSI) standard first published by the Project Management Institute (PMI) as a white paper in 1983. It is a guide that describes best practices used to manage a project efficiently and acts as a foundation for a sound project management methodology, yet it cannot be a method without adaptation.

These four management tools will be used to collaborate and organize key information from PMBOK, the information will then be directly compared to facts collected in the Federation Square project case study to decipher where the project went wrong and learn from management’s mistakes.

This report will focus on the interrelationship between the three PMBOK knowledge areas of scope, procurement and quality management and the impact each had on the final project.

Monitoring Tools There are many monitoring tools for projects but one of the most common is a Gantt chart as displayed within this assessment, other tools include Project Critical Path Analysis and Brainstorming. PMBOK is a guide that sets a standard terminology and guideline for project management. It explains the processes and steps that overlap and interact

In this paper the word ‘project” is defined, discussed and elaborated on. The phases of a project lifecycle and its purpose are to be discussed, and how it is important for organizations to use project management to accomplish tasks will in conclusion be discussed thoroughly. The indisputable word ‘Project” may be defined in numerous unusual ways, some can all have the same meaning and others can mislead a reader.

Along with hover boards and flying cars, high-speed rail is one of the most iconic futuristic technologies discussed today. With great success, European and Asian countries such as Germany, France, Japan and China have been enjoying bullet trains for decades. Japan has been a leading innovator of high-speed trains, and has currently developed a train capable of 315 mph (Shadbolt). This MagLev is revolutionizing public transport and changing how the world view trains forever. The average European high-speed train can travel at speeds in excess of 220 mph (“The 10”). The United States is falling behind in this highly efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly high-speed train race. With the amount of traffic congestion between

The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) is a collection of processes and knowledge areas generally accepted as best practice within the project management discipline. PMBOK recognises 5 basic process groups and 9 knowledge areas typical of almost all projects. The basic concepts are applicable to projects, programs and operations. The five basic process groups are:

The project management has evolved into a profession, and knowledge about various field covered under PMBOK has become necessary to be a successful project engineer/manager. This research paper section covers the process and method involved to identify stakeholders. The stated importance is that it is critical for the success of the project that we follow proper guidelines to identify various stakeholders for the success of the project. The implied importance is that stakeholder could have more cohesion during the beginning of the project once they

The case study, “Beijing EAPS Consulting, Inc.” in the Custom Book, (2011), examines the project management structure of the Beijing EAPS Consulting (BEC) company. This case study also addresses about project plan itself and how the co-workers are struggling with this communication between both mangers. This project plan has demonstrated many strengths and weakness. The one thing that the project plan needs put into action are safeguards to insure that the project is completed on time.

As an project manager in building a new international airport, important tasks of the project managers across any work scope or vertical is to ensure that the planned projects get finished well in time within the given budget and the planned time frame. Project management is one of the most high ranking areas of study and plays a meaningful role in organizations across all the scope.

This document is an annotated outline for a Project Management Plan, adapted from the PMI Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) and IEEE Standard for Project Management Plans. The Project Management Plan is considered to be a “Best Practice” template by the ETS Enterprise Program Management Office (EPMO).

The Project Management Plan (PMP) provides the general overview and establishes specific strategies and milestones for the preparation of study notes and delivery of presentation on the topic “Developing the Project Team “. The PMP will define the project 's requirements and expectations. This document will be updated as required, if there is any change in the subsidiary management plans.
