One purpose of the PMBOK is to provide and promote a common vocabulary within the project management profession for discussing, writing, and applying project management concepts. The PMBOK can be intimidating and overwhelming. Discuss how best to use this book as a project management resource.
    5. It is important that you have an understanding of the discipline of project management and the very different kinds of projects that require a project manager. For this activity, you will find at least two relevant articles through the library and, referring to the articles, write a three to four page double spaced paper, addressing the following as appropriate:
       The seven key areas of concern for a project manager.
       The most common characteristics required of a project manager.
       The impact of organizational culture on project management.
       The most challenging, frustrating, and rewarding aspects of project management.
      Make sure that you cite your sources and list them as well on a separate reference page.
