This document supersedes A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide) – Third
Edition. In the time since its publication, the Project Management Institute (PMI) received thousands of valuable
recommendations for improvements to the PMBOK Guide – Third Edition that have been reviewed and, as
appropriate, incorporated into the fourth edition. As a result of those inputs and growth of the Project Management Body of Knowledge, PMI volunteers prepared an updated version of the PMBOK Guide. The project charter to update the PMBOK Guide – Third Edition was to:
1. Revise the standard so that it would not conflict with any other PMI standards.
2. Ensure that the information contained in the standard was cohesive in concept and clear in writing style,and that terminology was well defined and congruous with the other publications’ terminology.
3. Research the way life cycles are currently being used in projects and revise or expand them as necessary.
4. Examine the five Project Management Process Groups and the 44 project management description processes to determine whether combining, deleting, or adding new processes would add clarity to the standard.
5. Ensure that Knowledge Area updates are congruent with the work done in defining the processes, inputs, and outputs defined by the standards group.
