The approved scope statement for the PMBOK® Guide – Fourth Edition explicitly states that the team should
undertake “Any necessary work to make the standard more accurate, up to date, relevant, clear, concise,
and easy to understand and implement. This may include the re-organization of content, additional content,
refinement of content, or deletion of content.”

With that directive in mind, the update team adopted an approach aimed at achieving a greater degree
of consistency and clarity by refining the processes, standardizing inputs and outputs where possible, and
implementing a global approach for documenting the inputs and outputs.

The Fourth Edition, in keeping with the consistency requirement, completed the change to verb noun format
for all processes. Standard verbiage was incorporated throughout the document when describing recurring
concepts to aid the reader’s understanding.

were rewritten in a more consistent manner. These areas include:

In an effort to provide clarification regarding process interactions, data flow diagrams have been added in
order to clarify the input source and the output destination for each process. The project management plan and
the project documents have been more clearly differentiated. This was done to highlight subsidiary plans and
baselines as the main components of the project management plan. While project documents are used to assist
the project manager in managing the project, they are not part of the project management plan. The following
is a representative list of project management plan components and project documents.

Another area requiring clarification involved change requests. Corrective action, preventive action, defect
repair, and requested changes are now under the general term “change request.” This revision helped to
streamline the inputs and outputs of many processes while still providing the visibility of the various types of
change requests.

The third edition contained a degree of redundancy regarding the components for the project charter and
the scope statement. While maintaining some of the spirit of progressive elaboration that takes place between
the project charter and the scope statement, we have attempted to distinguish the elements that occur in each
document to reduce repetition. The following table lists the elements of each:

A.5 Chapter 6—Project Time Management Changes
Chapter 6 reflects changes coming from within the industry and detailed in the Practice Standard
for Scheduling.

and was not included in this chapter.
The following table summarizes the Chapter 6 processes:

The Manage Project Team process was moved into the Executing Process Group as the activities are now
more proactive to ensure project performance is optimized. Both Develop Project Team and Manage Project Team
have been expanded to recognize and discuss the people skills needed within a successful project team.

Chapter 10 has expanded the recognition and importance of stakeholders within projects. As most project
teams cannot necessarily manage their stakeholders but can expect to influence them and their decisions,
it was felt that Manage Stakeholder Expectations would better reflect the actual process. This also led to
the change from a controlling process to an executing one as the activities are now more about doing than
recording/reporting.

The Project Management Institute (PMI) was founded in 1969 on the premise that there were many
management practices that were common to projects in application areas as diverse as construction and
pharmaceuticals. By the time of the PMI Montreal Seminars/Symposium in 1976, the idea that such common
practices might be documented as standards began to be widely discussed. This led, in turn, to consideration
of project management as a distinct profession.

It was not until 1981, however, that the PMI Board of Directors approved a project to develop the procedures
and concepts necessary to support the profession of project management. The project proposal suggested
three areas of focus:

More than twenty-five volunteers in several local chapters assisted this group. The Ethics statement was
developed and submitted by a committee in Washington, DC, chaired by Lew Ireland. The Time Management
statement was developed through extensive meetings of a group in Southern Ontario, including Dave MacDonald,
Dave Norman, Bob Spence, Bob Hall, and Matt Parry. The Cost Management statement was developed through
extensive meetings within the cost department of Stelco, under the direction of Dave Haeney and Larry Harrison.
Other statements were developed by the ESA Management Group. Accreditation was taken up by John Adams
and his group at Western Carolina University, which resulted in the development of accreditation guidelines.
It also resulted in a program of Project Management Professional (PMP®) certification, under the guidance of
Dean Martin.

This report subsequently served as the basis for PMI’s initial Accreditation and Certification programs.
Western Carolina University’s Master’s Degree in Project Management was accredited in 1983, and the first
PMP certifications were awarded in 1984.

Publication of the ESA Baseline Report gave rise to much discussion within PMI about the adequacy of the
standards. In 1984, the PMI Board of Directors approved a second standards-related project “to capture the
knowledge applied to project management … within the existing ESA framework.” Six committees were then
recruited to address each of the six identified Knowledge Areas. In addition, a workshop was scheduled as part
of the PMI 1985 Annual Seminars/Symposium.

Subsequently, a variety of editorial changes and corrections were incorporated into the material, and the
PMI Board of Directors approved it in March 1987. The final manuscript was published in August 1987 as a
stand-alone document titled “The Project Management Body of Knowledge.”

Discussion about the proper form, content, and structure of PMI’s key standards document continued after
publication of the 1987 version. In August 1991, PMI’s Director of Standards Alan Stretton initiated a project
to update the document based on comments received from the membership. The revised document was
developed over several years through a series of widely circulated working drafts and through workshops at
the PMI Seminars/Symposia in Dallas, Pittsburgh, and San Diego.

In August 1994, the PMI Standards Committee issued an exposure draft of the document that was distributed
for comment to all 10,000 PMI members and to more than twenty other professional and technical associations.

The publication of A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) in 1996
represented the completion of the project initiated in 1991. Contributors and reviewers are listed later in
this section. A summary of the differences between the 1987 document and the 1996 document, which was
included in the Preface of the 1996 edition, also is listed later in this section.

The document superseded PMI’s The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) document that
was published in 1987. To assist users of the 1996 document, who may have been familiar with its predecessor,
we have summarized the major differences here:

Title was changed to emphasize that this document is not the project management body of knowledge.
The 1987 document defined the project management body of knowledge as “all those topics, subject
areas, and intellectual processes which are involved in the application of sound management principles
to … projects.” Clearly, one document will never contain the entire project management body of
knowledge.

The Framework section was completely rewritten. The new section consisted of three chapters:

A revised definition of project was developed, which was both inclusive (“It should not be possible
to identify any undertaking generally thought of as a project that does not fit the definition.”) and
exclusive (“It should not be possible to describe any undertaking that satisfies the definition and is not
generally thought of as a project.”). Many of the definitions of project in the existing literature were
reviewed and all were found to be unsatisfactory in some way. The new definition was driven by the
unique characteristics of a project: a project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique
product or service.

Revised view of the project life cycle was developed. The 1987 document defined project phases
as subdivisions of the project life cycle. This relationship was reordered and project life cycle was
defined as a collection of phases whose number and names are determined by the control needs of
the performing organization.
5.
Names of the major sections were changed from Function to Knowledge Areas. The term “function”
had been frequently misunderstood to mean an element of a functional organization. The name change
was completed to eliminate this misunderstanding.

The existence of a ninth Knowledge Area was formally recognized. There had been widespread
consensus for some time that project management is an integrative process. Chapter 4, Project
Integration Management, recognized the importance of this subject.

The word “Project” was added to the title of each Knowledge Area. Although this may seem redundant,
was intended to clarify the scope of the document. For example, Project Human Resource Management
covers only those aspects of managing human resources that are unique or nearly unique to the
project context.
8.
The Knowledge Areas were described in terms of their component processes. The search for a consistent
method of presentation led the team to completely restructure the 1987 document into thirty-seven
project management processes. Each process was described in terms of its inputs, outputs, and tools
and techniques. Inputs and outputs are documents (e.g., a scope statement) or documentable items
(e.g., activity dependencies). Tools and techniques are the mechanisms applied to the inputs to create
the outputs. In addition to its fundamental simplicity, this approach offered several other benefits:

11. “To classify” was removed from the list of purposes. Both the 1996 document and the 1987 version
provided a structure for organizing project management knowledge, but neither was particularly
effective as a classification tool. First, the topics included were not comprehensive—they did not
include innovative or unusual practices. Second, many elements have relevance in more than one
Knowledge Area or process, such that the categories were not unique.
