The PMI process Group

The PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge)  guide structures its guidelines into

49 different processes, which are grouped into 5 categories known as Process Groups. A
Process Group is a logical grouping of project management inputs, tools and techniques, and
outputs. Each process is described in terms of the inputs required, a set of tools and
techniques which can be performed and the expected outputs .

PRINCE 2 Processes

The themes are applied throughout the 7 processes, which describe who is responsible and
accountable for what, and when. PRINCE2 processes are similar to process groups in
the PMBOK Guide. Each PRINCE2 process is divided into a number of activities. There are
41 in total. These activities closely resemble the 49 processes in the PMBOK Guide.
