I currently reading the Project Standard for WBS, I have seen the Diagram of the PMI Standards Library. It indicates the relationship of the other standard to the Project Standard for WBS.

I just wonder, is any one here have read all the PMI Standards? I am just curious. If so, does it help you to become a better Project Manager? What were the best practices that you have picked up? Is there any sequence on which standard to read first?

Thank you and I will greatly appreciate your reply.

I have not read all of them. I only refer to those that I need. Standards are references not books. So may not need to read all of them or the whole text.

If you have time to go through all of them, that's great, but you'll never remember everything anyway. Find the relevant section and refer to it to ensure you're meeting/exceeding.

I agree, it is very hard to retain what you read unless you constantly review. I don't know anyone that read all of them even once let alone reviewing often. You'll remember the things you use in real life and can look things up when you need to.

At least I downloaded and browsed thru all of them.
Some of them I summarized in a mindmap, on high level.

I know the PMBoK since 20+ years, trained others for the PMP exam and nevertheless can find new stuff every time I focus on something. So reading does not make you a master.

Instead of standards, I prefer to call them good practices and expert advice that have great reference value and are guides in the exercise of managing projects. In the mission of managing knowledge as Project Managers, let us provide feedback on what worked for us and what we had to improve.

Well, as you know just reading all the content wouldn’t make you a master of all, you need to remember, retain & apply the information & wisdom while practising PM.

There isn’t any sequence of standards to be followed, you need to focus on the scenario prevailing on hand & follow the applicable standard.

Hope now you’ve some clarity over the subject, keep abreast of your PM knowledge, be involved in the community & learn from the senior members.

Best of luck...

You can read PMBOK Guide and Agile Practice Guide for PM. You can find all needs of you about PM. But, they will be updated on January. If you want, you can wait them.

It is just for the reference, should be tailored to adapt with your project/ organization.

However, it very useful reference doc.
