To be successful, a project team must select appropriate processes to meet objectives, use a defined adaptable approach, establish stakeholder communication and engagement, comply with requirements, and balance constraints. There are five process groups: initiating, planning, executing, monitoring/controlling, and closing. The initiating group defines the initial scope and resources. Planning designs the success scheme through progressive elaboration. Executing coordinates execution according to plans. Monitoring/controlling tracks progress and initiates changes. Closing finalizes all activities and formally closes the project.
The Planning Process Group involves defining the strategy and tactics to successfully complete a project. It includes processes like developing the project management plan, collecting requirements, defining the scope, and creating the work breakdown structure (WBS). The key outputs are the project management plan, requirements documentation, scope statement, and WBS. These outputs establish the total scope of work and provide a framework for planning, executing, and controlling the project.

Murabahah refers to the sale and purchase of an asset where the acquisition cost and profit margin are disclosed to the purchaser. It is commonly used for short-term financing in Islamic banks. In a typical murabahah transaction, the bank buys an asset requested by the customer and then sells it to the customer at a higher price, allowing payment to be deferred. Key conditions include the asset being in existence and owned by the seller prior to resale. Murabahah provides an alternative to interest-based financing that is permissible under Islamic law.

Project procurement management involves three key processes:
1) Planning procurements by documenting decisions, specifying the approach, and identifying sellers.
2) Conducting procurements through obtaining seller responses, selecting a seller, and awarding contracts.
3) Monitoring procurements to manage relationships, oversee contract performance, implement changes, and close out contracts.
The document discusses project quality and quality management. It defines quality as the degree to which a project fulfills requirements. Quality management aims to ensure project deliverables and work meet stakeholder requirements for acceptance. There are three key quality management processes: (1) plan quality management, (2) manage quality, and (3) control quality. Quality planning identifies quality standards and how compliance will be demonstrated. Manage quality implements quality activities from the plan. Control quality monitors quality performance and ensures outputs meet expectations.
Project time management involves planning, estimating, and controlling the schedule to ensure timely completion of a project. It includes defining activities, sequencing activities, estimating activity resources and durations, and developing the project schedule. Key processes include activity definition, sequencing, resource and duration estimation, and schedule development. Techniques used include precedence diagramming, dependency determination, and schedule compression. The goal is to generate a schedule model with start and finish dates for each activity.
The document discusses project scope management processes. It defines key terms like scope, scope of work, and scope baseline. It identifies the main processes as plan scope management, collect requirements, define scope, create a work breakdown structure (WBS), and control scope. The processes of collecting requirements and defining scope involve developing a detailed description of project deliverables and documenting stakeholder needs. Creating a WBS involves breaking the project deliverables into smaller, more manageable work packages.

1. Project Management Body Of Knowledge
(PMBOK Guide)
The five basic process groups are:
Initiating
Planning
Executing
Controlling and Monitoring
Closing.
Processes are described in terms of:
- Inputs (documents, plans, designs, etc.)
- Tools and Techniques
(mechanisms applied to inputs)
- Outputs (documents, products, etc.)
PMBOK recognizes 5 basic process groups and 10 knowledge areas typical
of almost all projects. The basic concepts are applicable to projects, programs
and operations.
10 Knowledge Areas
1. Integration
2. Scope
3. Time
4. Cost
5. Quality
6. Human Resources
7. Communication
8. Risk
9. Procurement
10. Stakeholder Management
2.
3. ⚫ Aprocess is aset of interrelated actions and activities performed to
achieve project deliverables.
⚫ Eachprocessischaracterized byits inputs, the tools and techniques (
ITTOs) that can be applied,and the resulting outputs.
PM Processes
4. ⚫ For a project to be successful, the project team must:
⚫ Select appropriate processes required to meet the project objectives,
⚫ Use a defined approach that can be adopted to meet requirements,
⚫ Comply with requirements to meet stakeholder needs and expectations,
and
⚫ Balance the competing demands of scope, time, cost, quality, resources, and
risk to produce the specified product, service, or result.
This does not mean that the knowledge,skills,and processes described should always be
applied uniformly onall projects. Forany given project, the project manager, in
collaboration with the project team, is always responsible for determining which
processes are appropriate,and the appropriate degree of rigor for each process.

are guides for applying appropriate
project management knowledge and skills during the project.
8. Initiating Process Group
• The Initiating Process Group consists of
the processes that facilitate the formal
authorization to start a new project or a
project phase.
• Initiating processes are often done
external to the project’s scope of control
by the organization or by program or
portfolio processes.
9. Planning Process Group
• Required to plan and manage a successful project for
the organization.
• Helps gather information from many sources with each
having varying levels of completeness and
confidence.
• Develop the project management plan.
• Identify, define and mature the project scope, project
cost, an schedule the project activities.
• Additional dependencies, requirements, risks,
opportunities, assumptions, and constraints, identified,
or resolved.
10. Executing Process Group
• The Executing Process Group consists of the processes
used to complete the work defined in the project
management plan to accomplish the project’s
requirements.
• Involves coordinating people and resources
• Integrating and performing the activities of the project in
accordance with the project management plan.
• Addresses the scope defined in the project scope
statement and implements approved changes.
11. Monitoring and Controlling Process Group
• The Monitoring and Controlling Process Group consists of those
processes performed to observe 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 the project.
• Project performance is observed and measured regularly to identify
variances from the project management plan.
• Includes controlling changes and recommending prevention action in
anticipation of possible problems.
o Monitoring the ongoing project activities against the project
management plan and the project performance base line.
o Influencing the factors that could circumvent integrated change control so
only approved changes are implemented.
12. Closing Process Group
• The Closing Process Group includes the processes
used to formally terminate all activities of a project or a
project phase, hand off the completed product to others
or close a cancelled project.
• This Process Group, when completed, verifies that the
defined processes are completed within all the
Process Groups to close the project or a project phase,
as appropriate, and formally establishes that the
project or project phase is finished.

19. The need for Project Integration Managementis evident
in situations where individual processes interact.
Project Integration Management includes the processes
andactivitiesneededto identify, define, combine,
unify, and coordinate the variousprocesses and
project management activities within the Project
Management Process Groups.
Project Integration Management
20. The KeytoOverall Project Success:
Good Project Integration Management
Project managers must coordinate all of the
other knowledge areas throughout a
project’s life cycle
Many new project managers have trouble
looking at the “big picture” and want to
focus on too many details
21. Develop Project Charter (Process)
Project Charter is a
document that formally
recognizes the
existence of aproject.
It providesthe project
manager with the
authority to apply
organizational resources
