Project Management Guidelines

Danica,

hello, I am confused too. Still making up my mind about the usefulness of ed7 for organizations (and individuals).

ed6 was used to build many organization-specific methodologies, combined with life cycles. These methodologies or guidebooks were often based on processes, which means ed6. Basically, based on ed6 a template of a project management plan has been provided to make it easy for PMs to setup a project.



Looking at the principles in ed7 , they may not easily align with company-specific cultures, if you do not want to change this with a PM guide, it should prevail. Domains are quite similar to knowledge areas, but are lacking the framework given by the processes.

Danica -

If it is guidelines and not specific prescriptive advice, then I'd suggest the principles would be more relevant as those are designed to be applied to any project in any context whereas specific information in the domains sections might only apply to certain types of projects.
