Pmbok 8: Tailoring
The PMBOK® Guide Eighth Edition emphasizes the importance of tailoring project management processes to fit specific project needs. Tailoring allows project managers to adapt frameworks and processes, enhancing efficiency and reducing waste. This approach is crucial for achieving effective project delivery without unnecessary bureaucratic burdens.
- ▪Tailoring is the deliberate adaptation of project management approaches to suit specific project contexts.
- ▪Using too few processes can lead to chaos, while too many can create administrative waste and slow down delivery.
- ▪The PMBOK® Guide suggests that three main aspects can be tailored: life cycle and development approach, processes, and governance.
