Chapter: The Six Principles And The Pm Mindset 5506 10736
This lesson provides a detailed understanding of the relationship between the six project management principles and the seven performance domains — that is, between the mindset and the mechanics of project management.
The lesson highlights how performance domains operationalize the principles, how the principles in turn serve as the foundation of the domains, and how the two form a mutually reinforcing structure rather than two separate lists.
It emphasizes that while every principle relates to every domain, some connections are stronger than others, and knowing those stronger connections helps a practitioner understand where each principle exerts the most influence. The goal is to give the practitioner a mental map linking the "why and how to think" of the principles to the "what to manage" of the domains, before the individual principles are examined in the lessons that follow.
