Why PMBOK Best Practices Matter — And How Project Insight Brings Them to Life

The Hard Truth for Project Managers:

Most tools aren't built for you.

They’re built for dashboards.
For executives.
For task tracking.
For time clocks.

But not for the practice of project management.

If you’re a PMP or someone trained in the PMBOK® (Project Management Body of Knowledge), you know this struggle.

You’re trying to build charters, capture risks, track scope changes, and manage stakeholders — while the project management tools around you force-fit your process into whatever feature was easiest to code.


Why Does That Matter?

Because when your tools don’t align with PMBOK best practices, the inefficiencies show up fast:

    • Teams waste time on duplicate work

    • Data gets scattered across multiple tools

    • PMs become glorified administrators

    • Reporting turns into a manual nightmare

    • Strategic decisions lack real-time visibility

This is why so many PMs become tool skeptics — hopping from platform to platform, hoping this one will be different.


"I’ve always been tool agnostic. Even guilty of tool hopping. Until I found one that made me say — this is something I'm excited about. Not just another platform to learn. Not just another pretty dashboard. A tool that thinks like a PM — and with a team I want to support." — Jeremiah Hammon, PMP, Project Revolution


Enter Project Insight: Aligned with PMBOK, Built for PMs

Project Insight (PI) is the only project management platform that is aligned with PMBOK and designed to be powerful for PMs, still yet easy for teams to use and adopt.

Rooted in PMBOK principles from the Project Management Institute (PMI), PI provides project portfolio management automation to over 10,000 companies worldwide.

For over 20 years, organizations have trusted Project Insight to bring structure, visibility, and flexibility to their project work. Our greatest testimony? A 90% customer retention rate — proving that when project managers have the right tools, teams thrive.


What Makes Project Insight Different?

We didn’t build a tool and then think about PMBOK. We started with PMBOK. Every key domain of project management is supported — without overwhelming your teams.


How Project Insight Supports PMBOK Best Practices

PMBOK FocusHow Project Insight Helps

The Bottom Line

Without a PMBOK-aligned tool, PMs spend too much time managing the tool — instead of managing the project. Project Insight gives you a single platform that works with you, not against you.

Project Insight bridges the gap between theory and execution — giving PMs the structure of PMBOK best practices and the flexibility to lead projects their way.
