Performance Domain

A group of related activities critical to the effective delivery of project outcomes, as defined in the PMBOK Guide.

Definition

The 7th edition defines eight domains: Stakeholders, Team, Development Approach and Life Cycle, Planning, Project Work, Delivery, Measurement, and Uncertainty. Domains are interactive and integrated rather than sequential.

Example

The Uncertainty performance domain covers risk, ambiguity, complexity, and volatility.

Exam tip

Performance domains are outcome-focused and not tied to a sequence like process groups.
