Developing the second edition of the DAMA-DMBOK has been a labor of love for many people. The work started late in 2011 with the first revision of the Framework Paper, released in 2012. The DAMA-DMBOK Editorial Committee devoted many hours to produce the draft DMBOK2. They include:

Patricia Cupoli (DAMA Philadelphia) was the editor-in-chief for the majority of this work, finding authors and helping them develop their chapters. Sadly, Pat passed away in Summer 2015, while still engaged in the project.

Deborah Henderson (IRMAC – Toronto DAMA affiliate), Program Director for the DAMA-DMBOK products since their inception in 2005, was a dedicated sponsor of the project, and worked to ensure its completion after Pat’s passing.

Susan Earley (DAMA Chicago), who drafted the DAMA-DMBOK2 framework, was the primary editor for the DMBOK2 draft. She edited and organized content and incorporated the extensive public comments from DAMA Members.

Eva Smith (DAMA Seattle), Collaboration Tool Manager, handled logistics, including enabling DAMA members to access and comment on chapters.

Elena Sykora (IRMAC – Toronto DAMA affiliate), Bibliographer Researcher, compiled the DMBOK2’s comprehensive bibliography.

The Editorial Committee also appreciated the particular support of Sanjay Shirude, Cathy Nolan, Emarie Pope, and Steve Hoberman.

Laura Sebastian-Coleman (DAMA New England), DAMA Publications Officer and Production Editor, shaped, polished, and finalized the manuscript for publication. In this effort, she was guided by an advisory committee that included Peter Aiken, Chris Bradley, Jan Henderyckx, Mike Jennings, Daragh O Brien, and myself, with lots of help from Lisa Olinda. Special thanks also go to Danette McGilvray.

DMBOK2 would not have been possible without the primary contributing authors who gave substance to the vision defined in the Framework. All contributors are volunteers who shared not only their knowledge but also their time. They are credited for their contributions below. The many DAMA Members who provided feedback on chapters are listed as well.

DAMA International, the DAMA International Foundation, and the DAMA Chapter Presidents’ Council sponsored the DMBOK project. Their vision, insight, patience, and continued support enabled this project to be successful.

Finally, we want to recognize the families of all the volunteers on this project, who gave of their personal time to complete this work.

Sue Geuens, President, DAMA International
