The Full Form of PMBOK is‍ Project Management Body of Knowledge.

The Project Management Body of Knowledge is a set of standard terminology and guidelines for project management. The body of knowledge evolves over time and is presented in A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, a book whose sixth edition was released in 2017. 

A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK^® Guide) is PMI’s flagship publication and is a fundamental resource for effective project management in any industry. Over the years, business has changed considerably, but projects remain critical drivers of business success.

The guide includes The Standard for Project Management. The standard is the foundation upon which the vast body of knowledge builds, and the guide serves to capture and summarize that knowledge. 

The PMBOK^® Guide – Sixth Edition and Agile Practice Guide were created to complement each other. Together these two publications are a powerful tool that enable the right approach for the right project. When you order the PMBOK^® Guide – Sixth Edition (in English) you will receive a complimentary copy of the Agile Practice Guide.

This dynamic duo presents solutions for project delivery professionals across the entire spectrum of approaches — from predictive to adaptive and everything in between.
