1.1 Project Management Knowledge Areas
There are nine major knowledge areas in the field of project management. These consist of the
processes that are applicable to a project as a whole in the most complex instance. It must be noted
that, although all projects have to undergo all the above mentioned project phases, there are many
cases where one or more of the knowledge areas are not applicable. For example, a project may not
have any procurement taking place, so in this case the relative knowledge area is not applicable.
The knowledge areas of project management are:
Integration Management, which includes the processes and activities that integrate the various
elements of project management, which are identified, defined, combined, unified and coordinated
within the project management phases.
Scope Management, which includes the processes involved in ascertaining that the project includes all
the work required, and only the work required, to complete the project successfully.
Time Management, which includes the processes concerning the timely completion of the project.
Cost Management, which includes the processes involved in planning, estimating, budgeting and
controlling costs so that the project is completed within the approved budget.
Quality Management, which includes the processes involved in assuring that the project will satisfy the
objectives for which ot was undertaken.
Human Resource Management, which includes the processes that organise and manage the project
team.
Communications Management, which includes the processes concerning the timely and appropriate
generation, collection, dissemination, storage and ultimate disposition of project information.
Risk Management, which includes the processes concerned with conducting risk management on a
project.
Procurement Management, which include the processes that purchase or acquire products, services or
results, as well as contract management processes.
1.2 Project Management Processes
There are 44 distinct project management processes, each one having specific inputs, processing and outputs and producing
specific results. Each process belongs to a specific phase (or process group) and a specific knowledge area. Here below the
project management processes are listed per knowledge area:
1. Integration Management Processes 5. Quality Management Processes

• This phase is related to observing project
execution so that potential problems can be
identified in a timely manner and corrective action
can be taken, when necessary, to control the
execution of a project.
• The key benefit of this phase is that project
performance is observed and measured regularly
to identify variances from planning.
• This phase also includes controlling changes and
recommending preventing actions in anticipation
of possible problems.
• The continuous monitoring provides the project
team insight into the health of the project and
highlights any areas that require additional
attention.
• When variances jeopardize the project‖s
objectives, appropriate processes within the
Planning Phase are revisited.
• This review can result in recommended updates to
the planning of the project.
• This phase is related to the formal termination

Phase to accomplish the project‖s
requirements.
• This phase involves coordinating people
and resources, as well as integrating and
performing the activities of the project in
accordance with the plan.
• This phase also addresses the project
scope that has already been defined and
implements approved changes.
• Normal execution variances cause some
re planning of the work.
• These variances may include activity
durations, resource productivity and
availability, and unanticipated risks.
• Such variances may or may not affect the
planning of the project but require some
analysis.
• The result of this analysis can trigger a
change request that, if approved, might
modify project planning.
1.4 Mapping of Processes to Phases and Knowledge Areas
The mapping of processes to process groups and knowledge areas is presented in
the table below. Each process is presented in the phase (process group) where most of
its activity takes place.

management really means???
2. What does Integration management really means????

The fundamental process of

integrated process is the search
for SYNERGIES

A state in which two or more things work together in a particularly fruitful

way that produces an effect greater than the sum of their individual effects.

Expressed also as "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.“[1]
2.1 What is definition of Integration management????
February 26, 2016 | by David Arnold | Project Management

In your career as a project manager, you‖ve probably come across the

term integrated project management (IPM). It‖s one of those acronyms that
carry weight—and one whose definition it‖s important to understand precisely.

Maybe you do have a general idea of its implications.

But for most of us, technical terminology goes in one ear and out the other.

So really, what does integrated project management actually mean?

In a nutshell, integrated project management is the collection of processes that

ensure various elements of projects are properly coordinated.
It establishes and manages the involvement of all relevant stakeholders and
resources, according to defined processes devised from your organization‖s set
of standard processes.
Finally, it involves making trade-offs among competing objectives and
alternatives to meet or exceed needs and expectations.[2]

7.1 Develop project charter
• After deciding what project to work on, it is important to let the
rest of the organization know.
• A project charter is a document that formally recognizes the
existence of a project and provides direction on the project‖s
objectives and management
• Key project stakeholders should sign a project charter to
acknowledge agreement on the need and intent of the project; a
signed charter is a key output of project integration management

Continuous monitoring gives the project management team insight into the health of the project and
identifies any areas that may require special attention.
Control includes determining corrective or preventive actions or re-planning and following up on action
