25年來，《項(xiàng)目管理知識(shí)體系指南》（PMBOK指南）已成為項(xiàng)目管理的權(quán)威標(biāo)準(zhǔn)和項(xiàng)目經(jīng)理的必備資料?！禤MBOK指南》（第4版）是一本易懂易用的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，引領(lǐng)項(xiàng)目管理之卓越。

1983年，項(xiàng)目管理協(xié)會(huì)（PMI）志愿者首次對(duì)項(xiàng)目管理知識(shí)體系進(jìn)行了提煉。如今，《PMBOK指南》已被公認(rèn)為全球項(xiàng)目管理標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，是最具價(jià)值和用途最廣的項(xiàng)目管理資料之一。《PMBOK指南》討論項(xiàng)目管理的基本方法，幫助項(xiàng)目經(jīng)理取得卓越項(xiàng)目績(jī)效。

目前，有200多萬冊(cè)《PMBOK指南》正在廣泛使用中。自從《PMBOK指南》（第3版）出版以來，PMI收到了來自全球項(xiàng)目管理社區(qū)數(shù)以千計(jì)的改進(jìn)建議。PMI審閱了所有建議，并在第4版中采納了許多建議。

第4版收錄了最新的項(xiàng)目管理知識(shí)和經(jīng)驗(yàn)，力求連貫、清晰、易讀和易用。對(duì)每個(gè)過程都增加了數(shù)據(jù)流向圖，展示過程輸入的來源和過程輸出的去向。對(duì)各過程做了進(jìn)一步優(yōu)化，并新增了幾個(gè)過程。還增加了一個(gè)附錄，列出項(xiàng)目經(jīng)理管理項(xiàng)目所需使用的關(guān)鍵人際技能。

《PMBOK指南》（第4版）是專業(yè)項(xiàng)目經(jīng)理們集體智慧的結(jié)晶，是適用于各種項(xiàng)目的項(xiàng)目管理基本知識(shí)的集合。這本國(guó)際公認(rèn)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是項(xiàng)目經(jīng)理開展項(xiàng)目管理并為組織創(chuàng)造優(yōu)秀業(yè)績(jī)的必備工具書。
