| 核心主題 | 主要觀點／概念 | 實務或理論意義 | 重要條件／限制／延伸 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Governance | Project value、governance models、metrics、sourcing、integration、quality、knowledge、change與closure | 建立全專案的decision／control／integration骨架 | Governance應依predictive／adaptive情境與組織結構裁適 |
| Scope | Plan scope、requirements、define scope、scope structure、monitor／control、validate | 確保團隊做的是需要的工作並取得acceptance | Adaptive環境可用backlog持續refine scope |
| Schedule | Plan schedule、develop schedule、monitor／control | 把activities、dependencies、duration與delivery timing整合 | 可依predictive network scheduling或adaptive cadence使用不同技術 |
| Finance | Plan financial management、estimate costs、develop budget、monitor／control finances | 把project value與funding、cost、budget及financial performance連結 | Reserves、contract structure與life cycle會影響budget設計 |
| Stakeholders | Identify、engagement、communications的planning、management與monitoring | 讓需求、expectations、feedback與decision makers持續連線 | Stakeholder salience與communication needs會隨時間變化 |
| Resources | Plan、estimate、acquire、lead team、monitor／control resourcing | 管理human、physical與virtual resources並建立高績效團隊 | Resource constraints與distributed teams需不同安排 |
| Risk | Plan、identify、analyze、plan responses、implement responses、monitor | 系統性處理threats與opportunities | Risk management需配合project uncertainty、appetite與development approach |
第八版以 Governance、Scope、Schedule、Finance、Stakeholders、Resources、Risk 七個Performance Domains組織技術性專案管理。每個domain都包含key concepts、processes、tailoring considerations、與其他domains的interactions，以及check results。原書因此明確反對把scope、schedule、cost等當成彼此獨立的管理工作。
Governance domain包含：Initiate Project or Phase、Integrate and Align Project Plans、Plan Sourcing Strategy、Manage Project Execution、Manage Quality Assurance、Manage Project Knowledge、Monitor and Control Project Performance、Assess and Implement Changes、Close Project or Phase。它把value、governance、integration、quality、knowledge、change與closure放在同一控制框架中。
Plan Scope Management、Elicit and Analyze Requirements、Define Scope、Develop Scope Structure、Monitor and Control Scope、Validate Scope。Predictive環境可用scope statement、WBS等建立baseline；adaptive環境則可透過product／iteration backlog逐步refine requirements與delivery scope。
Plan Schedule Management、Develop Schedule、Monitor and Control Schedule。原書涵蓋activity sequencing、dependencies、estimation、critical path等predictive技術，也允許timeboxes、iterations與release cadence等adaptive做法。
Plan Financial Management、Estimate Costs、Develop Budget、Monitor and Control Finances。Finance不只是cost control，也涉及funding、reserves、financial metrics與專案是否持續符合business case。
Identify Stakeholders、Plan Stakeholder Engagement、Plan Communications Management、Manage Stakeholder Engagement、Manage Communications、Monitor Stakeholder Engagement、Monitor Communications。這個domain把stakeholder relationship與information flow直接連結。
Plan Resource Management、Estimate Resources、Acquire Resources、Lead the Team、Monitor and Control Resourcing。除human resources外，也涵蓋physical、virtual與其他專案所需資源；team leadership、collaboration與high-performing team conditions是核心。
Plan Risk Management、Identify Risks、Perform Risk Analysis、Plan Risk Responses、Implement Risk Responses、Monitor Risks。Risk同時包括threats與opportunities，需依專案的uncertainty、risk appetite與business context持續調整。
7個domains合計 40個processes。原書重點不是把它們重新變成一條唯一流程，而是提供技術工作清單，再依life cycle與Tailoring決定適用範圍、頻率與detail。
