A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide) was first published by the Project Management Institute (PMI) as a white paper in 1983 in an attempt to document and standardize generally accepted project management information and practices. The first edition was published in 1996 followed by the second edition in 2000.

In 2004, the PMBOK Guide — Third Edition was published with major changes from the previous editions. The latest English-language PMBOK Guide — Fourth Edition was released on December 31, 2008.

Work on the Fifth Edition is in development. On February 17, 2012 an Exposure Draft of the PMBOK Guide Fifth Edition was made available for review and comment. The final version is expected to be published in 2012/2013..
