PMBOK GUIDE (1ST EDITION), U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE EXTENSION TO: A GUIDE TO THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT KNOWLEDGE BODY OF KNOWLEDGE (PMBOK GUIDE) (JUN 2003)., This document is the first edition (2003) of a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Extension to the Project Management Institute’s (PMI®) A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) 2000 Edition. The primary purpose of this document is to identify and describe defense applications of the core project management knowledge areas contained in the PMBOK® Guide, as well as those defense-intensive knowledge areas not contained in the Guide. It is important to understand that this is an extension to the PMBOK® Guide, and is not intended to be a stand-alone document. The PMBOK® Guide is a valuable document in its own right and its principles need to be understood and practiced by DoD Program Managers (PM). This Extension generally follows United States Department of Defense (hereinafter referred to as DoD) acquisition system policies and procedures (principally found in the DoD 5000 series directives – DoDD 5000.1, DoDI 5000.2, and Interim Defense Acquisition Guidebook (IDAG)). However, many of the concepts are generic to defense acquisition worldwide.
