Much of the knowledge needed to manage projects is unique to
project management (e.g., critical path analysis and work breakdown structures).
However, the PMBOK does overlap other management disciplines as illustrated in
Figure 1-2.
Funtional departaments and supporting disciplines, such as legal, production and
inventory management, marketing, logistic and personnel.
Technical elements, such as software development, pharmaceuticals, water and
sanitation engineering or construction engineering.
Management specializations, such as government contracting,
community development or new product development.
Industry groups, such as automotive, chemicals, agriculture or financial services.
Appendix E includes a more detailed discussion of project management
application areas.
