Abstract
One especial characteristic of the PMBOK fourth edition is that the data flow betweenprocesses is defined with the definition of individual processes. Based on relations of input andthe output during an adjacent management process, we can visualize the network structure of42 project management processes analytically.The author showed that we could estimate the density of the process flow from the networkstructure based on the relations during the process of the first proximity.However, this network structure based on relations of first proximity is not including the indirectrelationship among management processes. Therefore, it is necessary to extract a cross-sectionaldata flowchart on knowledge areas by expanding analysis range of the management pass inconsideration of a highly advanced proximity element (process).Based on this cross-sectional data flowchart, it is able to visualize a complicated managementprocessing flow. As a result, it is found that there were complementary relations between theflow by way and by no way of the project integration management knowledge area. This suggeststhat network analysis technique is effective as method to visualize the flow of the managementprocess of project.In this paper, I would like to report the example of visualization of the management processingflow of some project management knowledge areas.
Highlights
One characteristic of PMBOK [1] is that data flowcharts corresponding to the each management process are described
In the third edition [3], it was changed to the data flowchart for every the project management (PM) knowledge area and it came to easy to look the flow of the management in each knowledge area
Management process of the PMBOK 4th edition From the data flowchart of 42 processes, it is able to get the adjacent line corresponding to the mutual relations between management processes described in PMBOK
Summary
One characteristic of PMBOK [1] is that data flowcharts corresponding to the each management process are described. Management process of the PMBOK 4th edition From the data flowchart of 42 processes, it is able to get the adjacent line corresponding to the mutual relations between management processes described in PMBOK. It could be visualized the concept structure of the management process of PMBOK by analyzing this adjacent matrix. The data flow diagram for communication management knowledge area of PMBOK 4th edition is shown in figure 5. The data flow diagrams of the communication and stakeholders management knowledge areas of the PMBOK 5th edition are shown in figure 6 and 7
