Purpose

The Project Management Guide was developed as part of the Enhanced Framework for the Management of Information Technology Projects initiative for departments and agencies of the federal government. The Guide provides a single-point of reference to key project management principles and practices and to the related policies and guidance of the federal government.

The guide is based on industry best practices, supplemented by lessons learned through government of Canada IM/IT projects. The document contents include the principles of the Project Management Institute's Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), are based on the International Standards Organization's Software Life Cycle Process (ISO/IEC 12207), and support the principles of the Software Engineering Institute's (SEI) Capability Maturity Model (CMM) and other relevant Treasury Board Secretariat (TBS) and external reference materials.
