To better understand the relationship between processes, actions, and results, match the PMBOK Guide areas to examples of project manager actions and results.
Procedure:
1. Review Michael Greer's "20 Key Project Manager Actions and Results." This article summarizes the actions that are required within each process, and the results that each action should produce.
2. On paper, trace Greer's 20 actions and results to the nine knowledge areas using the Project Management Processes as your template.
3. Decompose each process group, as depicted in the Guide down to its lowest activity.
4. Recommendation: Use a spreadsheet to do this exercise.
