It seems like getting a driving license after passing test and some exercise. He/She has to use the skills and knowledge at the real traffic conditions out there. Like this, he/she has to study in more detail to reflect the knowledges in the his/her real project and feedback the outcomes after complete of the project.
Do you agree that if he/she can tailor all the processes of the knowledge areas in the PMBOK Guide for any project, he/she is a safe driver of the project?
Tailoring is the key to run the project with safe in risky conditions.

The new version of PMBOK includes tailoring guidelines also. Each project is unique and the PM should decide how to apply the standards in a way it suits to the project. I agree: Tailoring is the key to run the project.

No project is similar in nature and PMBOK guides provide guidelines to manage them. Like the driving instructor will tell you to look around for any kind of obstruction before you put your vehicle in gear or check your rear view mirror to be sure before overtaking or lane change. In real life it's the project manager's decision to decide what principle/ guideline/ tool & technique is a better fit for his project/ organization, this is where PMBOK guide talks about tailoring.
Hi Najam,
Thanks for your detail descriptions on the tailoring.
