The document outlines the key elements of project management which include definition, planning, performing, monitoring and control, and closure. Definition involves developing an idea into a solution by researching the why, objectives, and use cases. Planning establishes the strategy, scope, costs, milestones, team, risks, and tasks. Performing executes the plan, tests for problems, and makes fixes. Monitoring and control tracks progress against quality, communication, and reports issues. Closure accepts the completed project, closes out finances, and unpacks resources.
