Understanding the interrelationship between different knowledge areas in PMBOK through the development of system dynamics model

Last minute changes, error, rework, cost overrun and delays are common issues in project management. Besides that project managers also face the pressure of completing projects within the given time and allocated budget. Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) by Project Management Institute (P...
