Unul dintre cele mai bine cunoscute modele de management de proiect este Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®), standardul promovat de Project Management Institute (PMI). PMBOK® contine o multitudine de informatii valoroase si include aproape toate procesele pe care le contine si procesul TenStep. Totusi, se distinge o diferenta in ambalarea continutului si in accentul pus pe unele aspecte. In opinia TenStep, PMBOK® furnizeaza o baza a domeniilor de cunostiinte necesare unui manager de proiect pentru a fi eficace dar nu este insa o metodologie pe care sa o poti utiliza in managementul direct al unui proiect. 

De fapt, chiar PMI preciza intr-una din editiile din 2004 ale revistei PMNetwork ca "PMBOK® Guide nu este o metodologie, un ghid aplicativ sau un set specific de proceduri." Contine, de exemplu, informatii, dar nu si proceduri. Furnizeaza definitii dar nu neaparat practici recomandate sau tehnici. Contine intrari si iesiri dar acestea nu sunt neaparat practice din ipostaza aplicarii reale a managementului de proiect.

Issues management is not emphasized in the PMBOK®. The PMBOK® does refer to issues as problems that can keep a team from reaching its goals, and identifies safety issues, performance issues, compliance issues, etc. Issues can come up in 9.0 Managing Quality, 8.0 Managing Human Resources and elsewhere. (In PMBOK® nu se pune accent pe managementul problemelor. PMBOK® se refera la controverse (issues) drept probleme care pot tine echipa la distanta de atingerea telurilor sale si identifica astfel de probleme de siguranta, performanta conformare, etc. Controversele pot interveni in Pasii 9.0 Managementul Calitatii, 8.0 Managementul Resurselor Umane si in alti pasi.)

4.0 Manage Issues. Issues are major problems that can impede the project but are outside the total control of the project team. (Pasul 4.0 Managementul Problemelor. Controversele (issues) sunt probleme majore care pot impiedica proiectul dar care sunt incontrolabile de catre echipa de proiect.)
