Read Presentation Deep Dive

The launch of The PMBOK® Guide – Seventh Edition brought with it some big changes.

With a shift from being process-led to becoming more principle based, the focus of The PMBOK® Guide – Seventh Edition is now much more about the whats than the hows of successful project management.

With this change also comes the incorporation of agile, iterative, and hybrid workflows that span the multiple industries that project managers work across.

Along with the 12 project delivery principles that guide how to execute a project – the 8 project performance domains further guide behaviors and best practices.

This document is a 84-slide PowerPoint presentation that provides an in-depth understanding to the Project Management – Models Methods and Artifacts according to PMI PMBOK

This document is easily customizable, content can be removed (or skipped over during presentation). Plenty of graphics are included in order to get the holistic vision of the interrelated systems.

Topic FAQ

What changed in the PMBOK® Guide with the Seventh Edition compared with prior editions?

The Seventh Edition shifted from a process-led model to a principle-based approach, emphasizing the "whats" over the "hows." It also organized guidance around 12 project delivery principles and 8 project performance domains and explicitly incorporates agile, iterative, and hybrid workflows, reflecting a principles-and-domains structure with 12 principles and 8 domains.

How should I tailor project management approaches to a specific project context?

Tailoring means adapting processes, governance, and methods to the project's size, complexity, and stakeholder needs. Typical tailoring actions include adjusting the project charter, customizing the communication management plan, and modifying risk management processes to fit the environment; concrete artifacts to adapt include the project charter, communication plan, and risk register.

What artifacts should I prepare for an effective project kickoff?

An effective kickoff typically includes documents that authorize and frame the project, align stakeholders, and define scope and risks. Key artifacts commonly used are a project charter, work breakdown structure (WBS), communication management plan, and a risk register; the "Project Management - Models Methods and Artifacts" deck contains templates for these artifacts.

How can teams measure project performance under PMBOK® Seventh Edition guidance?

Performance measurement can combine qualitative and quantitative approaches; common practices cited include using key performance indicators (KPIs), earned value analysis to track scope, schedule and cost, and regular status reporting to assess progress. The deck references KPIs, earned value analysis, and status reporting as measurement methods.

When shopping for a project management templates deck, what features should I prioritize?

Buyers should prioritize alignment to current standards (PMBOK® Guide – Seventh Edition), inclusion of common templates (project charter, risk register, communication plan), guidance on customization, and clear visuals for workshops and training. Look for explicit templates such as a project charter and a risk register when evaluating decks.

Are premade project artifacts useful for small teams with limited PM experience?

Premade artifacts can speed setup, provide consistent stakeholder communications, and support training when time or expertise is limited. Choose packages that are easily customizable and include foundational templates such as a lessons learned register and a communication management plan to accelerate project initiation and governance.

How does earned value analysis fit into hybrid or agile project delivery approaches?

Earned value analysis remains a method to measure scope, schedule, and cost performance,, but its application in hybrid or agile settings requires tailoring of metrics and cadence to iterative deliveries. Applying EVM in such contexts therefore involves adapting measurement frequency and scope definitions through a tailoring approach and use of earned value analysis.

I need to run a half-day PMBOK® 7 workshop — what agenda structure works?

A compact agenda can start with a 30-minute overview of PMBOK® Guide evolution, followed by a 60-minute interactive tailoring session to adapt approaches to participant projects, and a 90-minute session on commonly used models and methods with hands-on exercises; the product includes a sample 30/60/90-minute agenda.
