<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Frutiger-Light, serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 23px;">As we announced at the end of last year at the PMI congresses, in which we participated using a new and original <a href="http://prezi.com/6kvlkq9xdsup/presentacion-grupo_iso21500/" style="color: #0068cf; cursor: pointer;" target="_blank">Prezi presentation </a>(which also helped us to learn how to use this amazing communication tool), our next milestone was to “move” from the <a href="http://grupoiso21500.blogspot.com.es/" style="color: #0068cf; cursor: pointer;" target="_blank">blog</a> towards a <a href="http://www.iso-21500.es/" style="color: #0068cf; cursor: pointer;" target="_blank">web</a> page where we could develop all the ideas we already had in mind (fortunately, we were plenty of them).</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Frutiger-Light, serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 23px;">Other reason for the change in our communication plan was to be able to <b>interact </b>more often with our <b>target public</b>: all the people that, like us, are enthusiasts of Project management, well as future professionals, or well as already true experts on it, and who, like us, work to promote the development of the <b>Project Manager profession.</b> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 23px;"></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Frutiger-Light, serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 23px;">So it is great for us to give to you such awesome news, that we are now able to communicate that our dream has come true and we are launching our new web setting to share our Project with you all. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 23px;"></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Frutiger-Light, serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 23px;">For us, a team entirely composed by <b>PMI international volunteers</b>, it acquires a special value, for if managing a Project is always complex, managing a volunteer Project really needs the feeding of thrill and motivation for all the people who participates in it on a daily base. And this guides us towards the second part of this article…</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Frutiger-Light, serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 23px;">The delays on the publishing of that version (publishing that was necessary to align our guide´s language with regulation´s), joined to the impact economic crisis has had on the group @grupo_iso21500, (yes, it has reached us, and affected us in many different ways…) have slowed down the issue of our deliverable.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Frutiger-Light, serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 23px;">And it is right at this moment that we have given it a<b> turn</b>, analyzing once more the business case that used to supported it, and re-planning our deliverable to align its objectives with our new strategy. Project management in its purest state.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Frutiger-Light, serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 23px;">Following what was explained in the above mentioned book, we <b>“pivot”</b> from the initial solution towards this new proposal which, we think, fits better with @grupo_iso21500´s philosophy of sharing knowledge.

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Frutiger-Light, serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 23px;">To make easier the learning and comprehension of the concepts of project management included in the guide, we have used the technique of <i>visual thinking</i></span><i style="line-height: 17px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Frutiger-Light, serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 23px;">, </span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Frutiger-Light, serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 23px;">with a system of icons and images that we hope will make the reading more attractive and whose meaning we will explain in a brief user´s handbook.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 23px;"></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Frutiger-Light, serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 23px;">Periodically (about every two weeks) we will publish a new chapter, till completing the guide. The order, as you have possibly appreciated already, might not be logical, but the structure of ISO 21500 regulation itself allows such “disorder”. At the end of the deliveries, there will be some surprise about the way of presenting the information, so that it will be possible to access to it according to the user´s needs (per process, per process group, per knowledge area).</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 23px;"></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">On
Saturday 3rd of November 2012 our coordinator in Latin America, Cristian Soto,
presented at the Regional Leadership Meeting (ReM), which gathers together the
leaders of the 13<sup>th</sup><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>PMI
region chapters (Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay), an
introduction to ISO 21500 standard and to how our group is working on the
analysis of that regulation and also in the developing of a practical guide for
its implementation.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The
presentation generated a space for conversation and discussion relating the
future of this regulation and the benefits that it might bring to the
community. Differences between the regulation and PMBOK Guide and also the
relation that the regulation currently has with the certifiable ISO 9001:2008
were stressed.<span class="ecxapple-converted-space"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The possibility
of ISO 21500 to be certifiable generated many expectations.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">To
conclude the session, every country mentioned the current state of the
regulation in it and how each of them have participated in some stage of it,
including translation to Spanish, that is currently being carried out by a team
of several countries leaded by Argentina.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

(…) Mario Coquillat, PMP, as the leader of the PMI-MSC Library Service Project,
has appeared as the driving force of such Service, from the suggestion of the
initiative to the leading of its implementation and operation, getting himself
involved in every stage of the project, motivating the volunteer team and
promoting the benefits of that Service among Chapter associates and
non-associates.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #353535; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Mario has shown a high
level of professionalism, putting into practice the PMBOK Guide concepts for
initiating, planning, executing, controlling and closing the implementation of
Service Project. This Library Service has been really welcome among the Chapter
associates, for it has generated new opportunities for associates to get PDUs
to keep their certifications, through book reading or through the writing of
book reviews, and therefore improving the value of their Chapter membership. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Coordinator of the ISO 21500 Work Group, created with the aim of predetermining
the necessary steps to implement the ISO 21500 new regulation in organizations
and to create a helping guide containing the main factors to have on
account in any entity willing to follow the new ISO regulation.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

project, Mario has placed Madrid Chapter at the vanguard of Project Management,
by associating the name of the Chapter to the efforts for spreading ISO 21500
regulation even before its publishing, and extending the initiative to other
Chapters in Latin American countries, like Bolivia and México, and achieving
their active participation in project activities. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

of the different methodologies and frameworks currently existing and as a
driving force of the Project manager profession. Also, it will make easier for
companies managers and Project sponsors the necessary understanding of the
principles and good practices in Project management, necessary to give support
to their Project managers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

secretary of the Project Committee TC 236: Project Management, responsible of
it, and having used, among other documents, chapter 3 and glossary of
PMBOK®. In the same way, as a globally referenced entity in Project
management, it is assuming a relevant role in spreading and implementing of the
regulation, trough initiatives as the one performed by an international team of
volunteers, leaded by the PMI Madrid Spain Chapter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

phase, the project will be focused in Spanish speaking countries, so to achieve
this, a Latin American Committee has been created among PMI chapters in Latin

<span style="background: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">On Thursday, October 4th, an online conference
was held with members of PMI Puerto Rico Chapter, to introduce to them the
current state of the Guidance for Implementing ISO 21500 Regulation in
Organizations, on the basis of its Project Charter. The following points were
emphasized: <o:p></o:p></span></div>

- Introduction to Project Charter.</span><span style="text-align: start;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<span style="text-align: start;">- Guide´s double scope was
stressed (a topic included in Project Charter).</span><span style="text-align: start;"> </span><br />
<span style="text-align: start;"> </span><span style="text-align: start;"> </span><br />
<span style="text-align: start;">- The roles of Latin America
coordinator for the Project and of the elected representatives of each chapter
were explained. <br />
</span><span style="text-align: start;"> </span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;">- The possibilities of support
that might be given by the Puerto Rico Chapter, through its active
participation in our Blog and also through getting us in contact with its
regulating body, plus with the spreading of the Guide to develop, were
reviewed.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br /></span><span style="text-align: start;">There was a final time for
questions, and during it arose the main query about the possibility of this
regulation to be certifiable, to which the answer was that in the last draft of
ISO 21500 the consideration that specifically mentioned that such regulation is
not certifiable had been removed. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">1. The responses
obtained have a significant weight, for most of them have been given by people
who have a long experience (more than 10 years) and dedicate their daily work
to project management, and, additionally, most of those people have a
certification or degree in Project Management, which provides our work with a
“critical” value.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

prominent companies or organizations, most of them with more than 1000
employees, IT & Communication as the outstanding sector. This aspect
provides the obtained responses with a “formal nature”, for most big companies
work with established procedures or standards inside their different
departments. Otherwise, the fact of not counting with a significant presence of
small companies makes us a little blind in our intention of elaborating a
really universal guide.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

companies will tend to professionalize Project management inside their
organizations, for nowadays there is less resistance against that, and, in
addition, we have a nice percentage of them working under a formal framework.
The quantity of PMO is still low and interest in creating them is scarce, so a
possible objective or contribution of a Guide oriented to PMOs could be steered
towards this aspect. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">4. The ISO 9001 is the
most popular of regulations, having also a prominent seniority, and it will make
easier the comprehension of<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span> ISO
21500 Guides. Taking on account that the first motivation seems to be the
recognition of the company rather than the continual improvement, we might
think of a factor to help the organizations that are developing a Project
management based in ISO 21500 to stand out (attractive), and maybe that factor
should be based in the main benefits obtained from ISO 9001: costumer´s
satisfaction and standardization of processes.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ecxdefault" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 16.2pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">5. ISO 21500 regulation
is known by nearly half of the survey responders, a number that becomes
important, taking on account it is still a not very well known regulation, and
has not become effective yet.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ecxdefault" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 16.2pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">6. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-size: 7.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It might be considered important to
highlight at a certain point of the Guide which is the main contribution of ISO
21500 to Project management, for, though many people think it is a
consolidation of Frameworks, a good amount of other people do not see clearly
the contribution.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ecxdefault" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 16.2pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">7. Though many people
confirm the Non-certifiable condition of ISO 21500, another majority group,
unaware of this aspect, thinks it should be so.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="ecxdefault" style="background-color: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 16.2pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Segoe UI","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">8. The making of both
guides, one for PMs and another for PMOs, is a very well valued thing by the
survey responders, so our effort <span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>in
such direction will be welcome, similarly as having an ISO, or specifically the
ISO 9001, is understood as a help for implementation of ISO 21500.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">In
comparing the ISO 10006 Standard, Section 4.1 with PMBOK, Section 1.2, PMBOK
provides a more succinct definition.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All
projects are planned, executed and controlled.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Otherwise, how can one know whether or not they’re on track?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Furthermore, people perform projects.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How else will anything get done?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All projects are constrained by limited
resources.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is the nature of all
projects that they will always want more time and/or money and/or people.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The ISO 10006 defines a project as including
non-repetitive phases.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, this is
not always the case on a project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At
times, phases may be repeated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But the
end result may be unique.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Again, the
PMBOK definition here is better suited to defining the project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am concerned that the ISO 10006 suggests
that a project should deliver minimum quality results.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rather, a project should deliver <i>all</i>
expected quality deliverables as defined in the scope of the project.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Comparing ISO 10006 with PMBOK, I would say
that the ISO 10006 is more process oriented in its description of the processes
required for a project to be successfully managed so that it meets all of the
needs of the original objectives and the stakeholder requirements.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>ISO 10006 identifies seven project management
process groupings necessary to produce the project’s product.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These relate to the project process they include
in Element 4.1.4, which are: planning, organizing, monitoring, controlling,
reporting and taking corrective actions on a continual basis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, the ISO 10006 project management
process groupings do not appear to follow in a logical sequence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While each process needs to be done at
various times during the course of managing the project from beginning to end,
it is not clear as to the <i>sequence </i>in which the steps are to be taken. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoHeader" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The ISO 10006 guideline’s description
within each project management process group is excellent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, where each one of these project
management process groupings should be included, that is; in what process within
the project itself, is identified within some of the groupings, but not all of
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For example, ISO 10006 states that
Risk Identification should be performed at the initiation of the project,
although Initiation isn’t mentioned in the project process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the Communication grouping, it states that
there should be a communication plan, but no mention is made as to where within
the project process this communication plan should be included.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Arial;">In my view, each project management process
grouping should have a task list or a work breakdown structure (WBS)
incorporated into one master project plan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This is not articulated very clearly in either the ISO 10006 or the
PMBOK.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The PMBOK has broken down the process of
managing a project into five (5) processes: Initiating, Planning, Controlling,
Executing and Closing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But to locate
what has to be done within each process is difficult.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The five processes are not organized in the
PMBOK in a process-oriented manner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>While the actual description of each element within each process is
clear as to the tools, templates and techniques to use and the definitions to
follow, no clear process on how to do these are mentioned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is, PMBOK does not clarify, what is the
process of assessing risk, managing change, and so on.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Arial;">In both the ISO 10006 and the PMBOK it is
difficult to know what should be done for a project that is small versus one
that is large.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do you do everything for
both?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How does one make this decision?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Neither

the first thing to do, second thing to do, etc.).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They both identify the global processes, but
not the steps necessary within each one and do not include what is the process

guidelines for a small versus a large project.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The stages within the management of a
project is clearly identified both in the PMBOK – the 5 processes of
Initiating, Planning, Controlling, Executing and Closing and in the ISO 10006 –
planning, organizing, monitoring, controlling, reporting and on-going
corrective actions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span lang="EN-CA"><span style="font-family: Arial;">It is the ISO 10006 that explains how to do
other processes within each stage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For
example, ISO 10006 explains how to do a risk assessment or manage a change
request, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, it is not always

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><em><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Your Recommendation</strong>"Lessons learned" term is increased from version 4 (54 times) to version 5 (61 times) so is getting more important every time. A new process ("Collect Lessons Learned") must be included to define methodology because more and more praticioners say that knowledge is the most important project resource and thus it deserves to be treated as separate subject in the discipline of project management. Because it´s about all knowledge areas it must be included in integration (4.7)</span></em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><em><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Your Justification</strong>This new process is considered in ISO 21500 draft so PMBOK v5 must include it to be according to new ISO project management standard. I worked in this topic for last three years and there are no tools & techniques defined,so for example I created a methodology based on PMI risk methodology which I want to share with PMI (through publish an article through PMI Virtual Library and Project Management Journal). Probably, same situation about other praticioners because of lack of guidance in this issue.</span></em></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><em><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Our vote on your recommendation:</strong> Deferred<br /><strong>Our justification</strong>: Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the exposure draft for the PMBOK® Guide—Fifth Edition. Recommendation DEFFERED – out of scope for current update committee project charter. Recommendation will be forwarded to next update committee for their consideration.</span></em></span><br />
