4. What is Project Management
Project management is the discipline of initiating, planning,
executing, controlling, and closing the work of a team to achieve
specific goals and meet the specific success criteria.

5. The Traditional Approach

6. Initiating
The initiating processes determine the nature and scope of the project.
The initiating stage should include a plan that encompasses the following
areas:
• Analyzing the business needs/requirements in measurable goals
• Reviewing of the current operation
• Financial analysis of the costs and benefits including a budget
• Stakeholder analysis, including users, and support personnel for the
project
• Project charter including costs, tasks, deliverables, and schedules

7. Planning
After the initiation stage, the project is planned to an appropriate level of detail
Project Planning generally consists of
• Determining how to plan (e.g. by level of detail or Rolling Wave Planning );
• Developing the scope statement;
• Selecting the planning team;
• Identifying the activities needed to complete deliverables and networking the activities
in their logical sequence;
• Estimating the resource requirements, time and cost for the activities;
• Developing the schedule and budget;
• Risk planning;
• Gaining formal approval to begin work.

8. Executing
The execution phase ensures that the project management plan's
deliverables are executed accordingly. This phase involves proper
allocation, co-ordination and management of human resources and any
other resources such as material and budgets. The output of this phase is
the project deliverables.

9. Monitoring and Controlling
Monitoring and controlling 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.
Monitoring and controlling includes:
• Measuring the ongoing project activities ('where we are');
• Monitoring the project variables (cost, effort, scope, etc.) against the project
management plan and the project performance baseline (where we should be);
• Identifying corrective actions to address issues and risks properly (How can we
get on track again);

10. Closing
Closing includes the formal acceptance of the project and the ending
therefore. Administrative activities include the archiving of the files and
documenting lessons learned.
This phase consists of:
• Contract closure: Complete and settle each contract (including the
resolution of any open items) and close each contract applicable to the
project or project phase.
• Project close: Finalize all activities across all of the process groups to
formally close the project or a project phase
