Project Standard Tailoring


The organization and/or project management team is responsible for determining the appropriate standard and amendments to the selected standard. for any given project. The PMBOK Guide also provides and promotes a Common Vocabulary within the project management profession.

Smart Management Consultants (SMC)

Application of standards enhances the chances of success over a wide variety of projects. But, all the processes may not apply uniformly to all projects. Hence, it is the RESPONSIBILITY of your organization and/or the project management team to determine what is appropriate for any given project. The project manager, along with project team, is always responsible for determining: 1. What processes are appropriate? 2. What is the appropriate degree of rigor for each process? THIS IS CALLED TAILORING!

Standard Vs. Regulation


A Standard is a set of best Practices for a certain Industry. Once a Standard is selected and is enforced by the Authority, it becomes a Regulation. SBP, PTA, SECP are the example of Regulatory Authorities that enforce their Regulation in their respective industries.

Question

? Format

Exam questions are given in a multiple choice format, with four possible answers, marked A, B, C, and D, and only one of those four answers is correct. There is no penalty for guessing, so answer every question on the PMP exam, leaving none of them blank. Many of the PMP questions are quite short in format; however, the PMP Exam is famous (or infamous) for its long, twisting and scenario based questions.
