    Project management involves five process groups: (1) initiating processes to start new projects or phases through outputs like a project charter, (2) planning processes to guide execution through outputs like a work breakdown structure and project schedule, (3) executing processes where most time and resources are spent handling challenges, (4) monitoring and controlling processes to measure progress and take corrective actions, and (5) closing processes to gain acceptance of final products and services and reflect on lessons learned.

    The key takeaways are that project management involves five process groups: initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing processes. Each process group has specific goals and outputs.

    The five project management process groups are: initiating processes, planning processes, executing processes, monitoring and controlling processes, and closing processes.

    The main goal of initiating processes is to formally select and start off projects. Key outputs include assigning the project manager, identifying key stakeholders, completing a business case, and completing a project charter and getting signatures on it.

    Project Management Process Groups

    A process is a series of actions directed toward a particular result. Project management can be viewed as a number of interlinked processes. The project management process groups include: o Initiating processes o Planning processes o Executing processes o Monitoring and controlling processes o Closing processes

    Project Initiation

    Initiating a project includes recognizing and starting a new project or project phase. Some organizations use a pre -initiation phase, while others include items such as developing a business case as part of the initiation. The main goal is to formally select and start off projects. Key outputs include: o Assigning the project manager. o Identifying key stakeholders. o Completing a business case. o Completing a project charter and getting signatures on it.

    Project Planning

    The main purpose of project planning is to guide execution. Every knowledge area includes planning project planning include:

    A team contract. A scope statement. A work breakdown structure (WBS). A project schedule, in the form of a Gantt chart with all dependencies and resources entered. A list of prioritized risks (part of a risk register).

    Project Executing

    Project execution usually takes the most time and resources. Project managers must use their leadership skills to handle the many challenges that occur during project execution.

    . Many project sponsors and customers focus on deliverables related to providing the products, services, or results desired from the project.

    Project Monitoring and Controlling

    Involves measuring progress toward project objectives, monitoring deviation from the plan, and taking corrective action to match progress with the plan. Affects all other process groups and occurs during all phases of the project life cycle. Outputs include performance reports, requested changes, and updates to various plans.

    Project Closing

    Involves gaining stakeholder and customer acceptance of the final products and services. Even if projects are not completed, they should be formally closed in order to reflect on what can be learned to improve future projects. Outputs include project archives and lessons learned, which are part of organizational process assets. Most projects also include a final report and presentation to the sponsor or senior management.
