APPENDIX X2
CONTRIBUTORS AND REVIEWERS OF THE PMBOK® GUIDE—SIXTH EDITION
PMI volunteers first attempted to codify the Project Management Body of Knowledge in the Special Report on Ethics, Standards, and Accreditation, published in 1983. Since that time, other volunteers have come forward to update and improve that original document and contribute to this globally recognized standard for project management, PMI's A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide). This appendix lists, those individuals who have contributed to the development and production of the PMBOK® Guide – Sixth Edition. No list can adequately portray all the contributions of those who have volunteered to develop the PMBOK® Guide – Sixth Edition.
The Project Management Institute is grateful to all of these individuals for their support and acknowledges their contributions to the project management profession.
