Last year, we at pmexperts decided to take up the challenge of translating The PMBOK\u00ae Guide \u2013 Sixth Edition into Polish. With this article, I would like to start a series titled "Translating PMBOK\u00ae". Regardless of whether it is a difficult or easy task, how complex the process is and how many different opinions there may be about one sentence or even one word, one thing is beyond doubt: translating the PMBOK\u00ae Guide is an amazing adventure!<\/p>\n
Before I move on to the main part of this series, I would like to stop at just reading PMBOK\u00ae. In order to organize further considerations, I will ask two questions:<\/p>\n
I must admit that in my case there would be at least three answers to the first question, which I could describe as follows: PMP exam<\/strong><\/a>, papplying knowledge in practice<\/strong>, translation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n I started my adventure with the PMBOK\u00ae Guide by preparing for PMP\u00ae exam<\/a>. It was still the Fifth Edition, and the main motivation was to gain knowledge focused on finding answers to exam questions. So I was looking for a logical connection of process groups, knowledge areas, inputs, tools and methods, and results in PMBOK\u00ae. I learned many things by heart, but above all, I did not read PMBOK\u00ae like a book, from beginning to end, but rather like an encyclopedia - a compendium of knowledge. Obviously, I did not notice - because I could not notice - the "action", i.e. the logical sequence of events. I passed the exam, so I can say that although this way of reading worked at some stage, it did not make me feel much sentimental about the book itself. It was a rough, male friendship.<\/p>\n By\u0142o to bez w\u0105tpienia zupe\u0142nie inne czytanie, pozbawione presji czasu, nie tak przedmiotowe i zdecydowanie bardziej wnikliwe, cho\u0107 nadal skoncentrowane na poszczeg\u00f3lnych obszarach, w kt\u00f3rych akurat potrzebowa\u0142em wsparcia. By\u0142 to te\u017c czas pojawienia si\u0119 sz\u00f3stej edycji Przewodnika, a to z kolei wymusi\u0142o na mnie konieczno\u015b\u0107 poszukiwania r\u00f3\u017cnic pomi\u0119dzy edycjami. Nadal zatem nie uchwyci\u0142em \u201eakcji\u201d, ale za to pojawi\u0142y si\u0119 emocje. Znikn\u0119\u0142a bowiem cz\u0119\u015b\u0107 zagadnie\u0144, z kt\u00f3rymi by\u0142em zwi\u0105zany, pojawi\u0142o si\u0119 wiele nowych, kt\u00f3re zna\u0142em z innego, zwinnego \u015bwiata project management proces<\/a>, co mnie bardzo ucieszy\u0142o, bo teraz to by\u0142 bardziej m\u00f3j \u015bwiat. Jako \u201estosowanie wiedzy w praktyce\u201d rozumiem r\u00f3wnie\u017c prowadzenie szkole\u0144 z zarz\u0105dzania projektami zgodnie z dobrymi praktykami opisanymi w Przewodniku PMBOK\u00ae. Szczeg\u00f3lnie wi\u0119c zwraca\u0142em uwag\u0119 na wszelkie nowe praktyki oraz zwi\u0105zane z nimi narz\u0119dzia i metody.<\/p>\n It was during the translation that I read the PMBOK\u00ae Guide for the first time without any breaks or abbreviations, from beginning to end, in order, and to be honest, it was only then that I saw "something" in it. No, it didn't happen right away, after completing the first chapters, it didn't even happen halfway through. This happened when I started reading Part 2, but it came to light when reading Part 3. Part 2 helped me organize the project management processes in time and space, Part 3, in turn, allowed me to understand the logic of the book itself and the genesis of the changes introduced in the sixth edition.<\/p>\n Finally, a thought like "a wise Pole after the damage", or how I would read the PMBOK Guide today. The answer is: it depends on why I would read it. I would read it differently if I was preparing for the PMP\u00ae exam, differently if I was looking for practical knowledge needed for project management, and finally differently if I was preparing training based on the new edition. But you will read about this in the next part of the "Translating PMBOK" series.<\/p>\n Author: Arkadiusz Urba\u0144ski<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" W minionym roku w pmexperts postanowili\u015bmy podj\u0105\u0107 wyzwanie przet\u0142umaczenia The PMBOK\u00ae Guide \u2013 Sixth Edition na j\u0119zyk polski.
