解説
問 41
Incorrectア
“A guideline used by organizations that perform system development to carry out process improvement” describes CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration). CMMI is a model that rates the maturity of development processes by level and guides their improvement, so its purpose differs from PMBOK, which systematizes management knowledge for individual projects.
Incorrectイ
“A specialized department established to improve the project management capability and quality of an entire organization and to support individual projects” describes a PMO (Project Management Office). A PMO is an organization or department, not a body of knowledge (a document) like PMBOK.
Incorrectウ
“A body that systematizes theories, methodologies, know-how, and other knowledge related to software engineering” describes SWEBOK (Software Engineering Body of Knowledge). It is also a body of knowledge (BOK), but its subject is software engineering as a whole, so its scope differs from PMBOK, whose subject is project management.
- エ
正解 PMBOK stands for “Project Management Body of Knowledge”, and as the name says, it is a body of knowledge about project management. It was compiled by PMI (Project Management Institute) in the United States. It organizes the processes of a project — initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing — together with knowledge areas such as scope, schedule, cost, quality, resources, communications, risk, procurement, and stakeholders, and it is widely referenced as the standard way of doing project management (a de facto standard). Therefore エ, which states that it is a body that systematizes the knowledge of project management, is the correct answer.
ここがポイント
- PMBOK = Project Management Body of Knowledge. It is the body of knowledge on project management compiled by PMI, made up of process groups and knowledge areas, and it serves as a de facto standard.
- Telling confusing terms apart: CMMI = a model for improving development processes, PMO = a specialized department inside an organization that supports project management, SWEBOK = the body of knowledge for software engineering. You can judge from the words themselves: “BOK” means a body of knowledge, and “Office” means a department.
