SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Project managers and team leads often need quick, standard-based answers to project management questions — choosing a development approach, estimating schedules, handling hostile stakeholders, or picking the right artifact — without reading the entire PMBOK Guide. This Skill provides a pocket reference to PMBOK 7th edition with decision rules, a glossary, and a catalog of 160 models, methods, and artifacts. ## Core Features & Use Cases - 12 Principles and 8 Performance Domains: Detailed reference files covering stakeholders, team, development approach, planning, project work, delivery, measurement, and uncertainty, each with expected outcomes, techniques, and anti-patterns. - Decision Cheatsheet: If-then rules for common situations such as predictive vs. adaptive vs. hybrid selection, estimation technique choice, risk escalation, and metric selection. - Catalog of 160 Models, Methods, and Artifacts: Quick-choice table mapping needs (e.g., risk register, RACI matrix, project charter, contract types) to the right PMBOK artifact. - Use Case: A project manager facing a hostile high-power stakeholder asks how to respond; the Skill routes to the stakeholder domain guidance on early detection, prioritization by power and interest, and proactive engagement strategies. ## Quick Start Ask the pmbok skill how to choose between a predictive and adaptive development approach for a project with unstable requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions about pmbok

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose between predictive, agile, and hybrid project approaches?▼

Use the suitability filter: favor predictive when requirements are stable and the product is tangible, adaptive when requirements are uncertain or the deliverable is modular, and hybrid when different deliverables have different risk profiles. Regulatory or safety-critical deliverables stay predictive even in adaptive projects.

What estimation technique should I use for my project schedule?▼

Choose based on available information: analogous or relative estimation for quick comparisons, affinity grouping or planning poker for fast group estimates, parametric estimation with historical data, PERT for ranges with confidence, and bottom-up decomposition for stable predictive scope. Early-stage projects should accept wide ranges rather than forcing false precision.

When should I escalate a project risk instead of managing it?▼

Escalate a risk when it exceeds the team's authority or scope, and bring evaluated alternatives rather than just the problem. Otherwise choose from avoid, transfer, mitigate, or accept for threats, and the mirror strategies exploit, share, enhance, or accept for opportunities.

Does this skill cover PMBOK 6 process groups and knowledge areas?▼

No, it covers PMBOK 7th edition, which replaced the 49 processes and 10 knowledge areas with 12 principles and 8 performance domains. The process groups appear only as one model in the catalog for process-based organizational structures.

What is the difference between accuracy and precision in estimation?▼

Accuracy measures how close an estimate is to the real value, while precision measures its level of detail. An estimate can be highly precise yet very inaccurate, so early-stage projects should communicate ranges rather than detailed point estimates.
