This document discusses project management processes and knowledge areas. It defines a process as a set of interrelated actions to achieve a result. There are 42 processes grouped into 5 process groups: initiating, planning, executing, monitoring/controlling, and closing. The 9 knowledge areas are: integration management, scope management, time management, cost management, quality management, human resource management, communications management, risk management, and procurement management. Each process has inputs, tools/techniques, and outputs. Processes are iterative across the project life cycle and within each phase.

- 1. Chapter 2: Process Groups and Knowledge Areas What Is a Process? The Five Overarching Process Groups Interacting Cycles The Nine Project Management Knowledge Areas
- 2. Learning Objectives After completing this chapter, you will be able to: Describe what a process is and what constitutes the inputs, tools and techniques, and outputs related to a process Describe the five project management Process Groups and list the life cycle steps that take place in each Compare the project management life cycle to the Plan-Do-Check-Act and project life cycles Describe the nine PMI Knowledge Areas and classify their processes by Process Group
- 4. What Is a Process? According to the PMI, “A process is a set of interrelated actions and activities performed to achieve a pre-specified product, result, or service.” The PMBOK Guide lists 42 distinct processes.
- 5. What Is a Process? Inputs, Tools and Techniques, and Outputs Inputs refer to documents or Tools are tangible items documentable items that will used in performing an be acted upon. activity to produce a result (e.g. templates). Techniques are procedures used to perform an activity to produce a result (e.g. estimating). Outputs are tangible and measurable (usually a deliverable). Outputs from one process often show up as inputs to another.

- 26. Knowledge Check Concepts You Should Know A process is a set of interrelated actions and activities performed to achieve a pre-specified product, result, or service. The PMBOK Guide defines 42 project management processes. The 42 project management processes are grouped into 5 Process Groups: Initiating Planning Executing Monitoring and Controlling Closing Knowledge Check
- 27. Knowledge Check Concepts You Should Know (cont.) There are nine Knowledge Areas in the PMBOK Guide: Project Integration Management (6 processes) Project Scope Management (5 processes) Project Time Management (6 processes) Project Cost Management (3 processes) Project Quality Management (3processes) Project Human Resource Management (4 processes) Project Communications Management (5 processes) Project Risk Management (6 processes) Project Procurement Management (4 processes) Knowledge Check
- 28. Knowledge Check Concepts You Should Know (cont.) ● All processes are described in terms of their inputs, tools and techniques, and outputs: Input: Any item that is required by a process before that process can proceed Tool: Something tangible used in performing an activity to produce a result Technique: Defined systematic procedure to perform an activity to produce a result Output: Product, result, or service produced by a process ● The project management processes Across the life of the project are iterative: Within each phase of the project life cycle Knowledge Check
