Expert Judgment
Whenever the PM does not have sufficient expertise
Provided by SMEs (e.g. stakeholders, professional associations, industry groups, consultants, etc.)
Facilitation Techniques
Have broad application within project management processes and guide the charter development
Examples: brainstorming, conflict resolution, problem solving, and meeting management
|
Output: Project Charter
|
The project charter lays out the business needs, current understanding of what the customer is requesting, and the new product, service, or outcome. It will highlight:
Project purpose or justification
Measurable project objectives and related success criteria
High-level requirements
High-level product description
High-level risks
Summary milestone schedule
Summary budget
Project approval requirements
Identification of project manager
Identification of sponsors authorizing the project charter
|
Project Management Plan
|
What it is
The key overall plan for the entire project detailing how the project will be executed, monitored and controlled, and closed.
Where it occurs: Planning Process Group
Why it is important
Provides details on how the scope, schedule, and cost baselines will be established and maintained. (i.e. specifies who, what, when, where, why and how)
How it works
The process of Consolidating all subsidiary management plans created for the project
A living document that must be updated and maintained throughout the life
of the project
It is a progressively elaborated document, meaning that it is developed, refined, revisited and updated
|
Project Management Plan Tools
|
Project Charter
Should, at a minimum, define the high-level boundaries of the project
Used by the PM as the starting point for the initial planning
Outputs from Other Processes
Integrated to create the project management plan
Any baselines and subsidiary plans that are an output from other planning processes are input to this process
Enterprise Environmental Factors
Examples: Governmental or industry standards, project management information system, organization structure, infrastructure, personnel administration
Organization Process Assets
Examples: Standardized guidelines, project management plan template, change control procedures, project profiles from previous projects, historical information and lessons learned, configuration management
|
Direct Management Plan (Tools)
|
Expert Judgment
Utilized to:
Tailor the process to meet project needs
Develop technical and management details to be included in the project management plan
Determine resources and skill levels needed to perform project work
Define level of configuration management to apply on the project
Determine which project documents will be subject to formal change control process
Prioritize the work
Facilitation Techniques
Are used to guide the development of the project management plan
Examples: Brainstorming, conflict resolution, problem solving, and meeting management
|
Project Management Plan Output
|
The goal of the project management plan is to consolidate and integrate all of the subsidiary management plans from the previous planning processes. Details of the project management plan include, but are not limited to:
The life cycle for each process that makes up the project
Details of work performed by each resource
Milestone reviews for judging accuracy, efficiency, and timeliness

Deliverables are approved, unique, and verifiable products or results of the work performed in your project.
Work Performance Information is the information collected throughout the project’s life cycle such as:
Deliverable status
Schedule progress
Costs incurred
Change Requests can include Corrective or Preventive action:
Corrective Action – Changes made to correct any deficiency in the work being performed
Preventive Action – Preemptive action taken to reduce the probability of a specific outcome from happening (that may negatively impact your project)
Project Management Plan Updates – plans that can be updated include, but are not limited to:
Requirements management plan
Schedule management plan
Cost management plan
Quality management plan
Human resource plan
Communications resource plan
Risk management plan
Procurement management plan
Project baselines

Tracking, reviewing, and regulating project progress against the
project objectives
|
Monitor and control inputs
|
Project Management Plan

Typically in terms of cost variance (CV) and cost performance index (CPI)
Validated Changes
|
Monitor and Control (Tools)
|
Expert Judgment seeks to consult with personnel with specialized knowledge of the industry and/or sector.
Product Analysis allows you to translate high-level product descriptions into tangible deliverables.
Alternatives Generation is a means to ensure you have exhausted all plausible approaches.
Facilitated Workshops – These are requirements workshops, focused on bringing all of the cross-functional stakeholders together. Examples include:
Joint Application Development (JAD) in software development
Quality Function Deployment (QFD) for determining critical characteristics for new product development
|
Monitor and control (output)
|
Change Requests
Changes needed based on the comparison of planned results to actual results
Changes meeting the project's change control criteria should go through the integrated change control process (i.e., corrective action, preventive action, defect repair)
Work Performance Reports
the physical or electronic representation of work performance information compiled in project documents, intended to generate decisions, actions, or awareness
Project Management Plan Updates
Project management plan elements that may need to be updated due to changes processed through the appropriate change control process
|
Integrated Change Control VERY IMPORTANT (occurs in monitoring nad controlling
|
What it is
Reviewing and approving change requests, and managing the implementation of all changes approved.
Where it occurs: Monitoring and Controlling Process Group
Why it is important
When a change occurs in one area, it is evaluated for its impact across the entire project (important process on the exam
|
Integrated Change Control (happens imontoring and controlling)
|
Project Management Plan
