Project integration management has seven integrated processes (steps) that ensure a project work like a charm. Project Charter Developing a project charter is the first process of project integration management. A project charter is a project definition document that describes essential project information such as the project name, location, project objectives, project vision, project stakeholders, etc. A project can not begin without a project charter. It is an official document that authorizes the project formally. Business case, agreements, and organizational process assets are the inputs of the project charter. Project Management Plan The project management plan is an extensive document that involves all the information required to manage the project. It is a key project document created by the outputs of the other processes. Some of the complementary documents of the project management plan are scope statement, project budget, project schedule, risk assessment, quality management plan, etc. Project management plan creates a guideline for the project management system. It is an essential document created by project managers. Key project deliverables, project charter, and the project scope are the inputs of the project management plan.

Direct and manage the project work process is managing the execution of project work.

Transferring the gained knowledge to the organization is very important for future projects. Deliverables, lessons learned register, stakeholder register are some of the inputs of manage project knowledge process.

It involves work performance reporting and comparing the actual and planned values to ensure that the project is on track. Project management reporting plays a critical role in this process. Effective project control practices are vital for a project’s success. Earned value management techniques can be used as well as other project control techniques while performing the monitoring and controlling process. Cost forecasts, schedule forecasts, work performance information, assumption log, and other related project documents are the inputs of monitor and control project work process.
