Scope Planning – developing a written scope statement which be a basis for future project decisions (Scope Mgt) Scope Definition – subdividing the major project deliverables into more manageable components (Scope Mgt) Activity Definition – identifying the activities to be performed to produce the various project deliverables (Time Mgt) Activity Sequencing – identifying and documenting the interactivity dependencies (Time Mgt) Activity Duration Estimating – Estimating the number of work periods required to complete individual activities (Time Mgt)

Schedule Development –Analyzing the Activity sequencing, Activity Duration, resource requirements to create a Project Schedule (Time Mgt) Resource Planning – Determining what resources (people, equipment, and materials) and in what quantity is required to perform the activities of the project (Cost Mgt) Cost Estimating – Developing an approximation (estimate) of costs of the resources required to complete the project activities Cost Budgeting – Allocating the overall cost estimate to the individual activities of the project (Cost Mgt) Project Plan Development – Taking the results of the other planning process and putting them into an consistent, coherent document – (Integration Mgt)

Quality Planning – Identifying which quality standard is relevant to the project and how to satisfy them - (Quality Mgt) Communication Planning – Determining the information and communications need of the stakeholders; who will require what information, when will they require and how will it be given to them (Communication Mgt) Risk Identification – Determining what risk are likely to effect the project and documenting the characteristics of them (Risk Mgt) Risk Quantification – Evaluating the risks and risk interactions to assess the range of possible project outcomes(Risk Mgt) Risk Response Development – determining enhancement steps for opportunities and responses to threats (Risk Mgt)

Organization Planning – Identifying, documenting, and assigning roles and responsibility and reporting relationships (HR Mgt) Staff Acquisition– Acquiring the necessary resources assigned to and working on the Project (HR Mgt) Procurement Planning – Determining what to procure and when (Procurement Mgt) Solicitation Planning – documenting the product requirement and identifying the potential sources (Procurement Mgt)

Scope Change Control – Controlling changes in the project scope - (Scope Mgt) Cost Control – Controlling changes in the project budget (Cost Mgt) Schedule Control – Controlling changes in the project schedule (Quality Mgt) Quality Control – monitoring the project results to determine if they comply to the relevant quality standards and identifying ways to eliminate causes of unsatisfactory performance (Quality Mgt) Risk Response Control – responding the risk over the course of the project (Risk Mgt)

Contract Close-Out

Administrative Closure

Closing processes
Core Processes ? Administrative Closure – Generating, gathering and disseminating information to for formalize acceptance of the phase or project completion (Communication Mgt) ? Contract Close -out – Completion and settlement of the contract including resolution of any open issues (Procurement Mgt)

Customizing process Interactions
Not All Processes Needed On All Projects ? Not All Interactions Apply ? Absence of Process Doesn’t Mean It Should Not Be Performed ? May Need to Employ Unique Resources ? Process Outputs Predefined (Constraints) ? Larger Projects Need More Detail ? Smaller Projects, Less Process Needed
