		Project Management is the discipline of defining and achieving targets while optimizing the use of resources (time, money, people, materials, energy, space, etc) over the course of a project (a set of activities of finite duration).
		Project Management is quite often the province and responsibility of an individual project manager.
		Project Management was used as an isolated concept before the Sputnik crisis of the Cold War.

		This full body of knowledge includes knowledge of proven, traditional practices, which are widely applied, as well as knowledge of innovative and advanced practices, which may have seen more limited use.
		The full body of knowledge concerning project management is that which resides with the practitioners and academics that apply and advance it.
		Good practice does not mean that the knowledge described should always be applied uniformly on all projects; the project management team is responsible for determining what is appropriate for any given project.

	Six Sigma and the Project Management Body of Knowledge
		The PMBoK is a well-established standard (promulgated by the Project Management Institute) that is widely used by professional project managers in many industries around the world, and is the basis for certification as a project management professional (PMP).
		In short, where it is well established that professional project management adds value to larger projects, it is not clear that the same is true for typically smaller Six Sigma projects.
		Generally speaking, professional project management attempts to achieve these goals by encouraging sound practices on a project-by-project basis, often through the mechanism of a project office that promulgates policy, provides templates and advice, promotes appropriate use of tools such as critical path method, and perhaps performs periodic project reviews.

		Two reasons: (1) according to the Project Management Institute the PMP examinations conducted in 2001 will use the 1996 edition as one of the principal references, and (2) the 1996 edition is an Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) standard, designated as Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge IEEE 1490-1998.
		Project Management is not easy stuff, even though many people think all they need is to get a computer package and start using it in order to be project managers.
		There is no coverage for specific types of projects, only the principles of project management that cover most projects most of the time and the PMI says as much in the book.

		The definition of process 4.1, project plan development, was changed to read "integrating and coordinating all project plans to create a consistent, coherent document." Since the details of the process description make it clear that there is only one project plan, I'm not sure how to interpret this change.
