Project Management Process Groups
Project Management Process Groups
 Project management process groups progress
from initiating activities to planning activities,
executing activities, monitoring and controlling
activities, and closing activities.
 A process is a series of actions directed toward a
particular result.
•2
Description of Process Groups
Description of Process Groups
 Initiating processes include actions to begin or end
projects and project phases.
 Planning processes include devising and maintaining a
workable scheme to ensure that the project meets its
scope, time, and cost goals as well as organizational
needs.
 Executing processes include coordinating people and
other resources to carry out the project plans and
produce the deliverables of the project or phase.
 Monitoring and controlling processes measure
progress toward achieving project goals, monitor
deviation from plans, and take corrective action to
match progress with plans and customer expectations.
 Closing processes include formalizing acceptance of
the project or phase and bringing it to an orderly end.
•3
Characteristics of the Process Groups
Characteristics of the Process Groups
 The level of activity and length of each process group varies
for every project.
◦ Normally, executing tasks require the most resources and
time, followed by planning tasks.
◦ Monitoring and controlling processes are done throughout the
project’s life span.
◦ Initiating and closing tasks are usually the shortest (at the
beginning and end of a project or phase, respectively), and they
require the least amount of resources and time.
◦ However, every project is unique, so there can be exceptions.
 Note that process groups apply to entire projects as well
as to project phases.
◦ A phase is a distinct stage in project development, and most
projects have distinct phases.

Pre-initiating Tasks
Pre-initiating Tasks
 It is good practice to lay the groundwork for a project
before it officially starts.
 After a project is approved, senior managers should meet to
accomplish the following tasks:
◦ Determine the scope, time, and cost constraints for the project.
◦ Identify the project sponsor (the person who provides high-
level direction and often the funding for the project).
◦ Select the project manager.
◦ Meet with the project manager to review the process and
expectations for managing the project.
◦ Determine if the project should be divided into two or more
smaller projects (like the Just-In-Time Training Project was)
because it is easier to manage smaller projects than larger ones.
•7
Initiating Tasks
Initiating Tasks
 Identify and understand project
stakeholders.
 Prepare a business case for the project (if
needed).
 Create the project charter.
 Hold a kick-off meeting.
 Develop a preliminary scope statement.
•8
Identifying and Understanding Project
Identifying and Understanding Project
Stakeholders
Stakeholders
 Project stakeholders are the people involved in or
affected by project activities.
◦ Internal project stakeholders generally include the
project sponsor, project team, support staff, and internal
customers for the project. Other internal stakeholders
include top management, other functional managers, and
other project managers.
◦ External project stakeholders include the project’s
customers (if they are external to the organization),
competitors, suppliers, and other external groups that
are potentially involved in or affected by the project,
such as government officials and concerned citizens.
•9
Stakeholder Analysis
Stakeholder Analysis
 A stakeholder analysis provides information about key
stakeholders to help manage relationships with them.
 Includes the following information:
◦ Names and organizations of key stakeholders
◦ Their roles on the project
◦ Unique facts about each stakeholder
◦ Their levels of interest in the project
◦ Their influence on the project
◦ Suggestions for managing relationships with each stakeholder
 Because a stakeholder analysis often includes sensitive
information, it should not be part of the official project
plans, which are normally available for all stakeholders to
review.
•10
Preparing a Business Case for the
Preparing a Business Case for the
Project
Project
 Successful organizations initiate projects to meet business
needs, and a common business need is to spend money
wisely.
 A business case is a document that provides justification
for investing in a project.
 It is a good idea to have one of the company’s financial
managers review the information for accuracy.
•11
Contents of a Business Case
Contents of a Business Case
 Introduction/Background
 Business Objective
 Current Situation and Problem/Opportunity Statement
 Critical Assumptions and Constraints
 Analysis of Options and Recommendation
 Preliminary Project Requirements
 Budget Estimate and Financial Analysis
 Schedule Estimate
 Potential Risks
 Exhibits
•12
Creating a Project Charter
Creating a Project Charter
 A project charter is a document that formally
recognizes the existence of a project and provides a
summary of the project’s objectives and management.
 It authorizes the project manager to use organizational
resources to complete the project.
 Ideally, the project manager will play a major role in
developing the project charter.
 Instead of project charters, some organizations initiate
projects using a simple letter of agreement or formal
contract.
 A crucial part of the project charter is the sign-off section.
•13
Contents of a Project Charter
Contents of a Project Charter
 Project Title and Date of Authorization
 Project Start Date
 Project Finish Date
 Other Schedule Information

 Project Manager
 Project Objectives
 Approach
 Roles and Responsibilities
 Sign-off
 Comments
•14
Holding a Project Kick-off Meeting
Holding a Project Kick-off Meeting
 Experienced project managers know that it is crucial to get
projects off to a great start.
 A kick-off meeting is a meeting held at the beginning of a
project so that stakeholders can meet each other, review
the goals of the project, and discuss future plans.
 Often used to get support for a project and clarify roles
and responsibilities.
 The project champion should speak first and introduce the
project sponsor and project manager.
 Often a fair amount of work is done to prepare for the
meeting.
•15
Developing a Preliminary Scope Statement
Developing a Preliminary Scope Statement
 A scope statement is a document used to develop and
confirm a common understanding of the project scope.
 It describes in detail the work to be accomplished and is
an important tool for preventing scope creep—the
tendency for project scope to continually increase.
 It is helpful to create a preliminary, or initial, scope
statement during project initiation so that the entire
project team can start important discussions and work
related to the project scope.
 There are usually several versions, and each one becomes
more detailed as the project progresses and more
information becomes available.
•16
Contents of a Scope Statement
Contents of a Scope Statement
 Contents and length will vary based on the project.
 Typical contents include:
◦ The product or service requirements and
characteristics
◦ A summary of all deliverables
◦ The project success criteria
◦ References to related documents
