PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
As PMI explained in the book "A Guide to the Project Management Body Of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide) Sixth Edition"
(section 4.6.3.3):

The project management plan is the document that describes how the project will be executed, monitored
and controlled, and closed. It integrates and consolidates all of the subsidiary management plans and
baselines, and other information necessary to manage the project. The needs of the project determine which
components of the project management plan are needed.

1) Subsidiary management plans:

 Scope management plan. Establishes how the scope will be defined, developed, monitored,
controlled, and validated.
 Requirements management plan. Establishes how the requirements will be analyzed, documented,
and managed.
 Schedule management plan. Establishes the criteria and the activities for developing, monitoring, and
controlling the schedule.
 Cost management plan. Establishes how the costs will be planned, structured, and controlled.
 Quality management plan. Establishes how an organization´s quality policies, methodologies, and
standards will be implemented in the project.
 Resource management plan. Provides guidance on how project resources should be categorized,
allocated, managed, and released.
 Communications management plan. Establishes how, when, and by whom information about the
project will be administered and disseminated.
 Risk management plan. Establishes how the risk management activities will be structured and
performed.
 Procurement management plan. Establishes how the project team will acquire goods and services
from outside of the performing organization.
 Stakeholder engagement plan. Establishes how stakeholders will be engaged in project decisions and
execution, according to their needs, interests, and impact.

2) Baselines:
 Scope baseline. Described in Section 5.4.3.1. The approved version of a scope statement, work
breakdown structure (WBS), and its associated WBS dictionary, which is used as a basis for
comparison.
 Schedule baseline. Described in Section 6.5.3.1. The approved version of the schedule model that is
used as a basis for comparison to the actual results.
 Cost baseline. Described in Section 7.3.3.1. The approved version of the time-phased project budget
that is used as a basis for comparison to the actual results.

3) Additional components. Most components of the project management plan are produced as outputs from
other processes, though some are produced during this process. Those components developed as part of this
process will be dependent on the project; however, they often include but are not limited to:

  Change management plan. Describes how the change requests throughout the project will be
formally authorized and incorporated.
 Configuration management plan. Describes how the information about the items of the project (and
which items) will be recorded and updated so that the product, service, or result of the project
remains consistent and/or operative.
 Performance measurement baseline. An integrated scope-schedule-cost plan for the project work
against which project execution is compared to measure and manage performance.
 Project life cycle. Describes the series of phases that a project passes through from its initiation to its
closure.
 Development approach. Describes the product, service, or result development approach, such as
predictive, iterative, agile, or a hybrid model.
 Management reviews. Identifies the points in the project when the project manager and relevant
stakeholders will review the project progress to determine if performance is as expected, or if
preventive or corrective actions are necessary.

The project management plan is output of the process: “4.2 Develop project Management Plan” and its components
are updated in several processes throughout the project.
