What do you know about new PMBOK?

Do you want to know all the pros and cons? Do you need an internal look to all the processes, tools and techniques?  Would you like to have access to templates, examples of documents and other deliverables of managing projects in strict accordance with new PMBOK?

We prepare and conduct an expedition to the highest mountain of Africa, using the rules and tools of PMBOK Guide 6th Edition. However, we do not always know everything in advance in projects, the unpredictability of the mountain journey will confuse our plans. We will implement the project and learn in practice, will make the right decisions and make mistakes, get experience and get tired in the way, and in the end... we shall overcome!

In addition, we are going to share our insights and lessons learned with you!

Expedition to Kilimanjaro Mountain

In addition to the fact that the team will manage the project in strict accordance with new PMBOK, it should prepare and implement a real expedition to the Kilimanjaro Mountain, climb the Uhuru Peak and take a picture at the top of the mountain. We will have to:

  2. Think out and buy tickets, food, equipment and other resources to keep within the limited budget of the project.
  3. Carry out all the preparatory work for booking, insurance, rental of equipment and other organization.
  4. Publish all the materials of the project to the Expedition Project Management Group.
  5. Climb to the top of the Kilimanjaro (5895 m / 19341 ft.) and return back happy and unharmed.
