On the Support of the General Contractor’s Decisions in the Processes of Event Project Management

Abstract

The Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide) developed by the Project Management Institute (PMI, 2012) is a project management methodology that is known and used worldwide. This methodology describes the decision-making processes in the ten knowledge areas of project management inter alia project integration management, project scope management, project time management, project cost management, project quality management, and project risk management. Another area is a group of project processes connected with procurement management. From the point of view of the contractual relationship, the project may occur if both the client and the provider are contracting for goods and services. In the first of these cases, we will address contract management processes, and, in the second case, we will address procurement management processes. In a situation in which the agreement seems to be beneficial to the contractor, but he or she is not able to provide sufficient resources for its implementation or the knowledge, experience, and technology are not sufficient, the contractor will be considered for the purchase of selected scopes of work with external contractors. The structure of the PMBOK Guide processes is based on a systemic approach that determines the range of the input data in the sphere of implementation tools of individual processes and their results.
