In the NASA ESAS (which I've been plowing through all weekend) there's an interesting statement on page 89 of the Lunar Architecture chapter...
The team established a "required reading" list of documents...
Where's the required reading list for a Project Manager? Is it the PMBOK® Guide? If so, there is no bibliography. Interesting that the "guide" to the project management body of knowledge provides no guidance to the literature supporting that very BOK.
Addendum
I mis-spoke there are references in the PMBOK® Guide.
- The American Heritage Dictionary
- International Organization for Standardization / International Electromechanical Commission (ISO/IEC) Guide 2.
- The Handbook of Project-Based Management, Rodney Turner, 1992
- Decision Support System for R&D Project Selection and Resource Allocation Under Uncertainty, Given, Project Management Journal, 24(4), 1993
- American Society of Quality
- ISO 8402, Quality Management and Quality Assurance, 1994
That's it. A dictionary, two ISO standards, a PMI Journal Paper and a Handbook. All dated in the early 90's for a 2004 guide.
