Major processes of Project Integration Management

Project Plan Integrating and coordinating project plans:

Development creating a consistent and logical document

Project Plan
Carrying out the project plan
Execution

Integrated Coordinating changes across the entire

Change Control project
 Project Plan Development

 Create a consistent and coherent document that can be

used to guide both project execution and project control

 This process is almost always iterated several times

– Capture and decompose the work of the project: Work
Breakdown Structure (WBS)
– The defined work is planned, estimated and scheduled, and
authorized.

The sum of all the integrated management control plans

will constitute the total project scope
 Project Plan Development

 Project Plan is used to

– Guide project execution
– Document project planning assumptions
– Document project planning decisions regarding alternative
chosen
– Facilitate communication among stakeholders
– Define key management reviews as to content, extent and
timing
– Provide a baseline for progress measurement and project
control
 Project Plan Execution

 Some characteristics of this process

– Primary process for carrying out the project plan
– The vast majority of the project’s budget is expended in
performing this process
– It is the project process that is most directly affected by the
project application area
– Performance against the project baseline must be
continuously monitored
 Corrective actions
 Periodic forecast of the final cost and schedule results
 Integrated Change Control

 This process is concerned with

– Influencing the factors that create changes to ensure that
changes are agreed upon
– Determining that a change has occurred
– Managing the actual changes when and as they occur
 It requires
– Maintaining the integrity of the performance measurement
baselines
– Ensuring that changes to the project scope are reflected in
the definition of the project scope
– Coordinating changes across knowledge areas
A stepped approach to change

A journey of a thousand miles

occurs one step at a time.
