4.3 Direct and Manage Project Execution The process of performing the work defined in the Project Management Plan to achieve the project’s objectives.   Simple Version: Basically, go do the stuff on the project plan.   The PMBOK is industry agnostic it is not going to tell you how to run a construction project, or software development project. You are expected to follow industry best practices for project execution.
