Additional Topics Related to This Chapter
There are some additional topics that do not appear explicitely in the ECO, but are things you should be familiar with on the exam. The first is Project Performance Domains. There are eight Project Performance Domains: Stakeholder, Team, Development Approach & Life Cycle, Planning, Project Work, Delivery, Measurement, Uncertainty (see Figure 1-4).
Figure 1-4 Project Performance Domains
These domains represent the critical areas of focus that work together throughout a project’s life cycle. Unlike process groups, which follow a sequential flow, these domains operate simultaneously and interact continuously throughout the project. They provide a comprehensive framework for delivering value, whether using predictive, adaptive, or hybrid approaches.
Finally, we must understand the various roles that successful project managers play in leading projects and teams. A project manager must fulfill multiple roles to effectively lead projects and teams. These roles go beyond traditional management tasks and require a combination of leadership, technical, and interpersonal skills. Figure 1-5 illustrates the key roles that project managers must balance to achieve project success and maintain team effectiveness.
