Intertech's project performance system is adapted from the Project Management
Institute's knowledge areas as advanced in the Institute's Project Management
Body of Knowledge, or PMBoK. Intertech has adapted these nine areas
specifically to the tools and technologies used most often in systems
development and systems integration.
