The most common standards in project management are the Project Management Institute's Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) and the British Government's Projects in Controlled Environments (PRINCE2).
PRINCE2 is a series of Processes, Components and Techniques suitable for any size or subject of project. It describes what a project manager should do.
The PMBOK is a collection of knowledge areas and process groups. It describes what a Project Manager should know.
Both systems are global and have hundreds of thousands of certified members. It is generally accepted that PRINCE2 and PMBOK are complementary and that a complete Project Manager should have knowledge of both.
