PMBOK Performance Domains

PMBOK Performance Domains

The PMBOK 7th edition includes 8 performance domains that are grouped together to provide a more holistic view of project management. These PMBOK Performance Domains are as follows:

  1. Strategy Alignment: This domain covers the alignment of project management with organizational strategy and the ability to understand and align project objectives with organizational objectives.

  2. Technical Project Management: This domain talks about the application of skills, knowledge, tools and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements.

  3.  Business Environment: This domain gives the understanding of the internal and external environment in which the project functions, including the impact of the project on the organization as well as stakeholders.

  4.  Lifecycle Management: This domain talks about the ability to manage a project throughout its lifecycle, including initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and controlling, and then closing.

  5. Stakeholder Management: This domain covers the ability to identify, analyze, and manage stakeholders, including their expectations and engagement throughout the project.

  6. Professional responsibility: This domain covers the understanding and demonstration of ethical and professional responsibilities and the impact of the project management profession on society.

  7. Agile Project Management: This domain covers the ability to apply agile principles, values, and practices to deliver project value.


These project management domains offer a thorough understanding of project management and aid in project managers' comprehension of the key components of a project and how they relate to one another. With this strategy, project managers can concentrate on the project's overall goals rather to merely its technical details.
