In project management, there are four core knowledge areas(scope, time, quality, and cost.) and four knowledge-providing areas(human resource, risk, communications, and procurement management). The ninth area is project integration management which involves the integration and coordination of all elements that exist in a project such as shareholders, deliverables, tasks, and resources.
How the PMBOK® got its name is largely related to how it categorizes key aspects of a project, which are termed as "knowledge areas." There are 10 project management knowledge areas covered by the PMBOK Guide. The PMBOK Guide identifies 47 processes of project management that are instrumental to project success. The PMBOK Guide defines a process as "a set of interrelated actions and activities performed to achieve a specified set of products, results, or services." which is simply a way of transforming an input into an output using proven tools and techniques that can help drive progress from start to finish. Processes serves as a roadmap for keeping the project going in
the right direction. Good processes are based on sound principles and proven practices that is extremely important for ensuring a project's success. These processes can help minimize confusion and uncertainty among the project manager and the project stakeholders. Every project needs the 5 Process Groups - Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring & Controlling
and Closing. Process Groups bundle together processes that often operate around the same time on a project or with similar input and outputs. Once you've got comfortable with them they are actually a very logical way of grouping together the things you have to do. The overarching piece of our matrix are the Knowledge Areas. Each Knowledge Area is made up of a
set of processes, each with inputs, tools and techniques, and outputs. These processes, together, accomplish proven project management functions and drive project success. Thus, the Knowledge Areas as shown in Figure 2, are formed by grouping the 47 processes of project management into specialized and focused areas. Knowledge Areas also assume specific skills and experience in order to accomplish project goals. The Matrix shows the Knowledge Areas down the side, the Process Groups along the top and then maps the difference processes in the relevant boxes where those two axes cross. For example, at the junction of Project Integration Management and the Initiating Process
Group you have the process to 'Develop Project Charter'. This table explains the project management process groups and knowledge areas mapping.
