Project Integration Management

The business case is created as a result of one or more of the following:

* Market demand * Organizational need * Customer request * Technological avance * legal requirement * ecological impacts * social needs

Deliverables (output)

Deliverables are produced as outputs from processes performed to accomplish the project work as planned and scheduled in the project management plan. Output to Direct and Manage project work.

Business case (input)

describes the necessary information from a business standpoint to determine whether or not the project is worth the required investment.

Project Integration Management

includes the processes and activities to identify, define, combine, unify, and coordinate the various processes and project management activities within the Project Management Process Groups.

Expert Judgment

is often used to assess the inputs used to develop the project charter. Expert judgment is available from many sources, including, bnlt: * Other units within the organization * Consultants * Stakeholders, including customer or sponsors * Professional and technical associations * Industry groups * SME (subject matter experts) * PMO (project management office)

Change request

A _______________ is a formal proposal to modify any document, deliverable, or baseline. The _________________ may be: * Corrective -- an intentional activity that realigns the performance of the project work with the project management plan * Preventative — an intentional activity that ensures the future performance of the project work is aligned with the project management plan * Defect repair — an intentional activity to modify a nonconforming product or product component (def #2 — is the review of a defect repair) * Updates — Changes to formally controlled project documents, plans, to reflect modified or additional ideas or content.

Deliverables

A ____________________ is any unique an verifiable product, result or capability to perform a service that is required to be produce to complete a process, phase, or project. They are typically tangible components completed to meet the project objectives and can include elements of the project management plan.

SOW: Business need

An organization's __________________ may be based on a market demand, technological advance, legal requirement, government regulation, or environmental consideration. Typically, the business need and the cost-benefit analysis are contain4d in the business case to justify the project.

Enterprise Environmental Factors

Enterprise environmental factors refers to conditions NOT under the control of the project team, that influence, constrain, or direct the project.

Meetings are most effective when?

Meetings are most effective when all participants can be face-to-face in the same location.

Monitoring

Monitoring is an aspect of project management performed throughout the project. Monitoring includes collecting, measuring, and distributing performance information, and assessing measurements and trends to effect process improvements. Continuous monitoring gives the project management team insight into the health of the project and identifies any areas that may require special attention.

SOW: Strategic plan

The _______________________ documents the organization's strategic vision, goals, and objectives and may contain a high-lever mission statement. All projects should be aligned with their organization's strategic plan. Strategic plan alignment ensures that each project contributes to the overall objectives of the organization.

SOW: Product scope description

The ______________________________ documents the characteristics of the product, service or results that the project will be undertaken to create. The description should also document the relationship between the products, services, or results being crated and the business need that the project will address.

Monitor and control project work

The process of tracking, reviewing, and reporting the progress to meet the performance objectives defined in the project management plan. Key Benefit — is that it allows stakeholders to understand the current stated of the project, the steps taken, and budge, schedule, and scope forecasts.

Project management plan

The project management plan defines how the project is executed, monitored and controlled, and closed. It integrates and consolidates all of the subsidiary plans and baselines form the planning processes (24 processes).

Project Management Plan

The project management plan defines how the project is executed, monitored and controlled, and closed. It integrates and consolidates all of the subsidiary plans and baselines form the planning processes (24 processes).

Project Statement of Work (SOW) (input)

This document a narrative description of products, services, or results to be delivered by a project.

True or False: The project management plan provides the baseline for the schedule, cost, and scope.

True

Work performance data

Work performance data are the raw observations and measurements identified during activities being performed to carry out the project work. Data are often viewed as the lowest level of detail from which information is derived by other processes. Examples: KPIs (key performance indicators), technical performance measures, start and finish dates of schedule activities, number of change requests, number of defects, actual costs, and actual durations, etc.

Meetings

__________________ are used to discuss and address pertinent topics of the project when directing and managing project work. Meetings tend to be one of three types: * Information exchange * Brainstorming, option evaluation, or design * Decision making

Agreements (input)

_______________________ are used to define initial intentions for a project. Agreements may take the form of contracts, memorandums of understanding (MOUs), service level agreements (SLA), later of agreements, letters of intent, verbal agreements, email, or other written agreements. Typically, a contract is used when a project is being performed for an external customer.

Approved change requests

_____________________________ include those requests reviewed and approved for implementation by the change control board (CCB). The approved change request may be: * corrective * preventative * defect repair

Facilitation techniques

_______________________________ have broad application within the project management processed and are used to guide the development of the project management plan. Brainstorming, conflict resolution, problem solving, and meeting management are key techniques used by facilitators to help teams and individuals achieve agreement to accomplish project activities.

Facilitation techniques (T&T)
