The PMBOK (5th ed.) outlines a recommended process for procurement management. Develop a table in MS Word to compare and contrast key elements of the PMBOK procurement process with the procurement process used in the project/organization you discussed in the previous assignment. Comparison points may include process coverage and content, procurement responsibility of the project manager, key concepts and terminology, applicability to your industry, and other factors you deem relevant.
After you have developed your comparison table, discuss if your project or organization could align its procurement process with PMBOK’s. What would work and what would not work so well? Why? Justify your analysis with examples from your project/organization and examples from the literature.
Support your paper with minimum of three (3) scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate resources, including older articles, may be included.
Length: 2-3 pages not including title and reference pages
