Structural Changes One of the most pronounced changes to the Third Edition of the PMBOK Guide is the structure. The Third Edition is structured to emphasize the importance of the Process Groups as described in Table 1 which displays a side-by-side comparison of the changes. Chapter 3 is renamed Project Management Processes for a Project and has been moved from Section I to a new Section II which is now called The Standard for Project Management of a Project. As part of this change Chapter 3 has been extensively revised to clearly indicate that the processes inputs and outputs called out in the chapter are the basis of the standard for project management of a single project. 2000 Edition Sections Third Edition Sections Section I - The Project Management Framework Chapters 1 2 and 3 Section I - The Project Management Framework Chapters 1 and 2 Section II - The Standard for Project Management of a Project Chapter 3 - Project Management Processes for a Project Section II - The Project Management Knowledge Areas Chapters 4 through 12 Section III - The Project Management Knowledge Areas Chapters 4 through 12 Section III - Appendices Appendix D - Notes Appendix E - Application Area Extensions Section IV - Appendices Appendix D - Application Area Extensions Section IV - Glossary and Index Section V - References Glossary and Index Table 1 - Structural Changes A .
