Presentation Overview
Brenda will present an overview of the PMBOK Software Extension. The PMI Standards Extensions expand upon the foundational standards to provide more information on specific project types or industry information. The Software Extension to the PMBOK® Guide Fifth Edition was developed by PMI jointly with IEEE Computer Society, and provides guidance on the management of software development projects, and bridges the gap between the traditional, predictive approach described in the PMBOK® Guide and iterative approaches such as agile more commonly used in software development.
