A subset of project management that includes the processes required to ensure that
the various elements of the project are properly coordinated. It consists of:
• Project plan development—taking the results of other planning processes and
putting them into a consistent, coherent document.
• Project plan execution—carrying out the project plan by performing the activities
included therein.
• Overall change control—coordinating changes across the entire project.
A subset of project management that includes the processes required to ensure that
the project includes all the work required, and only the work required, to complete
the project successfully. It consists of:
• Initiation—committing the organization to begin the next phase of the project.
• Scope planning—developing a written scope statement as the basis for future
project decisions.
• Scope definition—subdividing the major project deliverables into smaller,
more manageable components.
• Scope verification—formalizing acceptance of the project scope.
• Scope change control—controlling changes to project scope.
A subset of project management that includes the processes required to ensure timely
completion of the project. It consists of:
• Activity definition—identifying the specific activities that must be performed
to produce the various project deliverables.
• Activity sequencing—identifying and documenting interactivity dependencies.
• Activity duration estimating—estimating the number of work periods which
will be needed to complete individual activities.
• Schedule development—analyzing activity sequences, activity durations, and
resource requirements to create the project schedule.
• Schedule control—controlling changes to the project schedule.
A subset of project management that includes the processes required to ensure that
the project is completed within the approved budget. It consists of:
• Resource planning—determining what resources (people, equipment, materials)
and what quantities of each should be used to perform project activities.
• Cost estimating—developing an approximation (estimate) of the costs of the
resources needed to complete project activities.
• Cost budgeting—allocating the overall cost estimate to individual work items.
• Cost control—controlling changes to the project budget.
A subset of project management that includes the processes required to ensure that
the project will satisfy the needs for which it was undertaken. It consists of:
• Quality planning—identifying which quality standards are relevant to the project
and determining how to satisfy them.
• Quality assurance—evaluating overall project performance on a regular basis to
provide confidence that the project will satisfy the relevant quality standards.
• Quality control—monitoring specific project results to determine if they comply
with relevant quality standards and identifying ways to eliminate causes of
unsatisfactory performance.
A subset of project management that includes the processes required to make the
most effective use of the people involved with the project. It consists of:
• Organizational planning—identifying, documenting, and assigning project
roles, responsibilities, and reporting relationships.
• Staff acquisition—getting the human resources needed assigned to and working
on the project.
• Team development—developing individual and group skills to enhance project
performance.
A subset of project management that includes the processes required to ensure
timely and appropriate generation, collection, dissemination, storage, and ultimate
disposition of project information. It consists of:
• Communications planning—determining the information and communications
needs of the stakeholders: who needs what information, when will they
need it, and how will it be given to them.
• Information distribution—making needed information available to project
stakeholders in a timely manner.
• Performance reporting—collecting and disseminating performance information.
This includes status reporting, progress measurement, and forecasting.
• Administrative closure—generating, gathering, and disseminating information
to formalize phase or project completion.
A subset of project management that includes the processes concerned with identifying,
analyzing, and responding to project risk. It consists of:
• Risk identification—determining which risks are likely to affect the project and
documenting the characteristics of each.
• Risk quantification—evaluating risks and risk interactions to assess the range
of possible project outcomes.
• Risk response development—defining enhancement steps for opportunities
and responses to threats.
• Risk response control—responding to changes in risk over the course of the project.
A subset of project management that includes the processes required to acquire
goods and services from outside the performing organization. It consists of:
• Procurement planning—determining what to procure and when.
• Solicitation planning—documenting product requirements and identifying potential
sources.
• Solicitation—obtaining quotations, bids, offers, or proposals as appropriate.
• Source selection—choosing from among potential sellers.
• Contract administration—managing the relationship with the seller.
• Contract close-out—completion and settlement of the contract, including resolution
of any open items.
