A Portrait of PMBOK

 

Whenever someone asks me what PMBOK is, I always find myself spending a long time and having difficulty to explain to the person the concept of PMBOK in a short and digestible way. I have been thinking – "Is there a way that I can describe or paint a nicer picture of PMBOK?" This has inspired me to a little experiment. With some trial and error, the outcome of the experiment is a surprisingly cool portrait that not only illustrates PMBOK visually but also describes it in words that reflect the key concepts of what it is. The words in the portrait were taken from the article 'Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) Guide' that gives an overview of PMBOK and the size of each word maps directly to the number of times it appears in the article relatively. Hence, it is not surprising to see some common and important words like "PROJECT", "MANAGEMENT" and "PROCESS" etc. appearing larger than the rest of the words. In a way, this looks like a digital DNA of PMBOK, isn't it? I hereby proudly present you – A Portrait of PMBOK!
