Question | Answer |
planning process group | group of processes to define the scope total effort, establish and refine the objectives and developing the plan to reach those goals. the project plan components and project documents are created in this process group. Depending on the project nature, these components and documents might need to be reviewed and updated regularly. The same might be needed when a great change occurs. |
Progressive elaboration | constant refinement of the project plan, indicating that planning and documentation are continuous activities. |
The main benefit of this process group | To define the course of action to finish the project or phase successfully. |
baseline | the approved version of the project plan, once the initial planning effort is employed and concluded. Throughout the project, the monitoring and control processes compare the actual project performance against the planned one. |
How the planning starts and finishes | It starts and finishes with the development of the project management plan (process 4.2 from the integration knowledge area) |
The project management plan is composed of 9 other plans from 9 different knowledge areas | - scope management plan -schedule management plan - costs management plan - quality management plan - resources management plan -communications management plan - procurement management plan - risks management plan - stakeholders management plan |
Process: 4.2 - Develop a project management plan Knowledge area: integration | Definition, preparation, and coordination of all the plans components by consolidating them and generating an integrated plan. It defines how the project will be executed, monitored and controlled and closed. Its content may vary depending on the project complexity and area of application. It can be summarized or detailed but it should have enough information to respond to a changing environment. |
The benefit of developing a project management plan | producing a comprehensive document to define the project baseline and how the work will be done. It's a one time process. The components and documents of the plan must be tailored to meet the project needs. |
Develop project plan inputs | - Project charter - outputs from other processes from this process group - OPAs -EEFs |
Develop project plan tools and techniques | -brainstorming -checklists -discussion groups -interviews -interpersonal and team skills and abilities: conflict management, facilitation, meeting management |
Develop project plan Outputs | project management plan |
The basic components of the project management plan | Scope, Schedule, and Costs so the execution can be compared to those references and performance can be evaluated. Before the baseline definition, the project plan can be updated as needed. After they are defined, the integrated change control process should be applied when a change in any aspect of the plan is required. This generates a controlled and progressively elaborated plan. |
project x program/portfolio management plan | They should be consistent |
Develop project plan inputs: Project charter | It's used as a starting point for the project team. Its info may vary depending on the moment and project complexity but, at the very least, it should contain high-level project info that will be more detailed in the various project plan components |
Develop project plan inputs: outputs from other processes | Not only plans but other processes baselines (scope, schedule and cost baselines) and output documents are inputs for this process |
projec management plan components and documents |
