Is there a PMP project plan to build a project?

hwatkins

PMBOK has 42 processes that interrelate. i.e output of PX become inputs to PY. Is there a project plan showing how to carry this out? I'll like to see it if it exists. If it does not exist, why doesn't someone create one? This could be very useful. Ideas? Thoughts?

Hi hwatkins,

If I have understood you correctly, you are looking for something like a template, which is contradictory to the concept of "Tailoring" in project management.

In fact, you should use PMBOK as a guide and not as a cutting tool! This means that you should understand the environment and requirements of your own project and then utilize relevant processes in an appropriate manner.

Thanks...

@Hamed_Abedi,

Great to see members helping each other.

Thank you.

@hwatkins,

one could attempt this only after reading all the processes, their inputs and outputs.
Try to get the reasoning why one input needs as an input into that process.
Rita's book helps you immensely on this. The pop-up 'secrets' in BrainBoK would save your time, and give great insights. I would say this is the wisdom we get in PMP preparation! All the best!!
