PBOK Taxonomy Increases Value

One thing scientists do is to find order among a large number of facts, and one way to do that across fields as diverse as biology, geology, physics and astronomy is through classification.

When creating your PBOK always keep the taxonomy and structure in mind.

The most important function of your PBOK is retrieving data. If the data cannot be found and subsequently used, the value of the PBOK is lost.

To help build the structure and the taxonomy follow a simple three-step process.

Step 1: Identify the specific scenarios or use cases for extracting information from your PBOK.
Step 2: Practice running the scenarios
Step 3: Refine the structure and the taxonomy to reduce the friction of retrieving information.

Regularly doing this process will ensure the data in your PBOK is useful.
