This document outlines the 47 project management processes from the PMBOK Guide 5th Edition organized into five process groups: initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing. It shows the processes grouped under their respective knowledge areas and depicts some of the relationships between the processes through data flow arrows. The processes are intended to be followed sequentially within each process group to help manage the scope, time, cost, quality, procurement, human resources, communication, risk, and stakeholder engagement aspects of a project. The document is based on content from the PMBOK Guide 5th Edition and is intended as a high-level overview rather than a replacement for reading the full Guide.
