A book developed jointly by PMI with the IEEE Computer Society.

The project management approaches contained within A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) have formed the foundation for projects across the range of human endeavor. However, some software project managers reported experiencing challenges when seeking to translate the established approaches of the PMBOK® Guide with adaptive approaches such as agile that are more commonly used in software development.

The Software Extension to PMBOK® Guide Fifth Edition brings these two worlds together. It provides readers with knowledge and practices that will not only improve their efficiency and effectiveness but that of their management teams and project members as well.
