A large portion of the BABOK® v3.0 Guide describes a wide range of different techniques that can be applied in different situations. It also states that you should not limit yourself to these techniques or feel that you can’t change or adapt a technique to fit a particular situation. 

Each technique has been described using the following attributes:

• Purpose
• Description
• Elements
• Usage considerations

We encourage you to get familiar with each technique and truly understand what type of situation each technique can be used for. We cover the techniques in this study guide.
