Q1 : What is Principle-based knowledge in Project Management Body of Knowledge?
A1 : Principles are rules, laws, Guidelines, or facts that guide the behavior or help for evaluation. Principles never tell how things should be done, they are not prescriptive and they can not be considered as policies or as checklist objectives. Principals are actionable, culture neutral, and can be realized in different ways, provide clear boundaries, and can be applied across the value delivery landscape.
