Explanation
Tailoring is required because every project is unique in its context, constraints, stakeholders, and complexity. The PMBOK Guide presents a comprehensive set of processes, tools, and techniques, but it does not prescribe that all of them must be applied to every project. Project managers must select and adapt only those elements appropriate to their specific project. A one-size-fits-all approach would be inefficient and potentially counterproductive. Applying every PMBOK process blindly would add unnecessary overhead; tailoring ensures the right level of rigor for each situation.
