2.1 OVERVIEW
Projects exist and operate in environments that may have an influence on them. These influences can have a favorable or unfavorable impact on the project. Two major categories of influences are enterprise environmental factors (EEFs) and organizational process assets (OPAs).
EEFs originate from the environment outside of the project and often outside of the enterprise. EEFs may have an impact at the organizational, portfolio, program, or project level. See Section 2.2 for additional information on EEFs.
OPAs are internal to the organization. These may arise from the organization itself, a portfolio, a program, another project, or a combination of these. Figure 2-1 shows the breakdown of project influences into EEFs and OPAs. See Section 2.3 for additional information on OPAs.
In addition to EEFs and OPAs, organizational systems play a significant role in the life cycle of the project. System factors that impact the power, influence, interests, competencies, and political capabilities of the people to act within the organizational system are discussed further in the section on organizational systems (see Section 2.4).
2.2 ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
Enterprise environmental factors (EEFs) refer to conditions, not under the control of the project team, that influence, constrain, or direct the project. These conditions can be internal and/or external to the organization. EEFs are considered as inputs to many project management processes, specifically for most planning processes. These factors may enhance or constrain project management options. In addition, these factors may have a positive or negative influence on the outcome.
EEFs vary widely in type or nature. These factors need to be considered if the project is to be effective. EEFs include but are not limited to the factors described in Sections 2.2.1 and 2.2.2.
2.2.1 EEFS INTERNAL TO THE ORGANIZATION
The following EEFs are internal to the organization:
Organizational culture, structure, and governance. Examples include vision, mission, values, beliefs, cultural norms, leadership style, hierarchy and authority relationships, organizational style, ethics, and code of conduct.
Geographic distribution of facilities and resources. Examples include factory locations, virtual teams, shared systems, and cloud computing.
Infrastructure. Examples include existing facilities, equipment, organizational telecommunications channels, information technology hardware, availabil ...

Project Integration Management includes the processes and activities needed to identify, define, combine, unify, and coordinate the various processes and project management activities within the Project Management Process Groups.
Project management is one of the most popular tool in the companies in today´s competitive environment. There are many successful companies, in which the project management has the key position. Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet project requirements. Project management is accomplished with the processes such as initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing. The project team manages the work of the projects, and the work typically involves competing demands, stakeholders with differing needs and expectations and identified requirements. It is important to note that many of the processes within project management are iterative in nature. This is in part due to the existence of and the necessity for progressive elaboration in a project throughout the project life cycle.
In this presentation, i am taking sequencial information from various PPT's and from PMBOK also. So it is very effective & knowledgeable for Engineering & MBA Students. Thankyou
This Booklet provide a high-level summery for PMBOK Knowledge area(s) , objective to support whom study PMP or willing to get a helicopter view for Project management Knowledge.

IEMA & Go Green South West Seminar: Martin Baxter Update to 14001:2015Go Green
As part of the IEMA & Go Green South West Seminar: Innovation in 2015 European Green Capital, Martin Baxter, IEMA's Chief Policy Advisor gave an insight into the requirements of the new ISO 14001:2015 accreditation.
1. Enterprise Environmental Factors and
Organizational Process Assets
Produced by Dr. Linda P. Dowdell, MS, MBA, PMP, PMI-ACP
Project Management Solutions, LLC
PMI® New York City
2. One of the dilemmas that concern project
managers is how to initiate a project
The dilemma increases when project
managers are new to the organization –
especially when they work as consultants
The dilemma increases even more when
project managers must take mandatory
training geared for new resources, and
postpone to learn about enterprise
environmental factors and organizational
process assets.
2
3. The mentioned dilemmas are inevitable; however,
project managers should initiate a project in parallel
with two knowledge areas, Project Integration
Management and Project Stakeholder Management
(PMI® standards) because
the first knowledge area starts with a Project Charter which
contains key information to justify a project, a list of key
stakeholders, etc.
the second knowledge area identifies the stakeholders in more
detail, which will be part of a Stakeholder Registry
At the same time, project managers need to
familiarize themselves with the enterprise
environmental factors, and the organizational process
assets – because these contain the factors about the
company and the assets which could be applied to
projects.
3
4. These process assets are outside of PMI standards
but form part of an organization (e.g., policies,
historical information, lessons learned, etc.)
These process assets are important because they
influence the recommended processes (PMBOK®,
for example) which are necessary to develop a
project.
Note: Generally, each PMI® process group
(initiating, planning, executing, monitoring,
controlling and closing) makes reference to
organizational process assets (whatever they
are).
4
5. PMI® makes references to 2 categories of
organizational process assets which are specific
to the performing organization
Processes and Procedures (for initiating, planning,
executing, and closing)
Plans
Processes
Politics
Procedures
Corporate Knowledge Base
Lessons learned
Historical information
5
PMBOK, Fifth Edition, p. 27-28
6. These are the categories which are specific to the
performing organization to conduct project work
(1) Processes and Procedures for Initiating and
Planning
Guidelines and criteria to tailor processes and procedures that
are standard to the organization
Organizational standards for policies such as human resources,
health and safety, ethics, project management, etc.
Organizational standards for product and project life cycle
Organizational standards for quality policies and procedures
such as process audits, improvement targets, checklists, process
definition, etc.
Templates such as risk register, stakeholder register, contract
templates, etc.)
6
PMBOK, Fifth Edition, pp. 27-28
7. These are the categories which are specific to the
performing organization to conduct project work
(cont.)
(1) Processes and procedures for execution, monitoring
y controlling
◦ Procedures for change control (and the steps required),
which includes how approval and validation of changes will
be done
◦ Procedures for financial controls such as time reporting,
accounting codes (e.g., cost centers), how consultants will
report time, etc.
◦ Procedures for issue and defect management
◦ Communication requirements such as retention policies,etc.
◦ Procedures for approving project work
◦ Guides, work instructions, performance measurement
criteria
7
PMBOK, Fifth Edition, p. 27-28
8. These are the categories which are specific to
the performing organization to conduct
project work (cont.)
(1) Processes and procedures for closing
Guides or requirements to close projects
Lessons learned
Project audit requirements by required parties
Project evaluations by required parties
Product validations (by required parties) along with
corresponding acceptance criteria
8
PMBOK, Fifth Edition, p. 27-28
9. These are the categories which are specific to the
performing organization to conduct project work
(cont.)
(2) Corporate Knowledge Base
These are the knowledge bases that are necessary to
archive and retrieve information
Configuration management knowledge bases
Financial databases (which can be systems)
Historical information and lessons learned knowledge
bases (e.g., SharePoint)
Issue and defect management databases
Process measurement databases
Project files of previous projects
9
PMBOK, Fifth Edition, p. 27-28
10. Enterprise environmental factors are outside PMI®
standards but form part of and may be unique to
organizations (e.g., culture, infrastructure, etc.).
Enterprise environmental factors are important
because they influence the recommended and
necessary processes to develop a project.
Note: Generally, each PMI® process group
(initiating, planning, executing, monitoring,
controlling and closing) makes reference to
enterprise environmental factors (whatever they
are).
10
11. Enterprise environmental factors are NOT
under the control of the project management
team, but they do influence, constrain, or
help direct a project. In other words, these
environmental factors could improve or
constrain project management options that in
turn may influence the outcome of a project
in a positive or negative manner.
Enterprise environmental factors are necessary
inputs to most PMI® planning processes.
11
PMBOK, Fifth Edition, p. 29
12. Among others, the following enterprise environmental
factors include:
Culture, infrastructure and governance of the organization
Geographic distribution of facilities and resources
Government or industry standards
◦ Regulatory agency regulations
◦ Codes of conduct
◦ Project standards
◦ Quality standards
◦ Workmanship standards

environmental factors include (cont.):
Personnel administration
◦ Guidelines in selecting and retaining personnel
◦ Employee performance reviews and training records
◦ Reward and overtime policy
◦ Time tracking
Work authorization systems
Market conditions
