The entire project management knowledge area includes various processes and activities required for identifying, determining, integrating, unifying, and coordinating different processes and project management activities in each project management process group.

Start from - planning - RUN - Monitoring -

1,Develop Project Charter

The project charter is a document for formal approval of the project. This file authorizes the project manager to use the Organization's resources during the project activity. The project owner or sponsor outside the project organization that is suitable for providing funds for the project to publish the project charter. For some organizations, the project charter will be officially issued and initiated only after the assessment, feasibility study, preliminary plan, or other analysis with a similar effect is completed.

2,Formulate preliminary scope statement of the project

The project scope manual determines the scope of the project, that is, the various items to be completed.

3,Develop a Project Management Plan

The process of preparing a project management plan includes generating a document for identifying, coordinating, and integrating all the actions required by the plan to make it a project management plan. It determines how and how to execute, monitor, control, and end the project.

4,Guide and manage project execution

Guidance and management the project implementation process requires the project manager and the project team to take various actions to execute the project management plan and complete the work specified in the project scope statement.

5,Monitoring Project Work

The monitoring project work process is the process required to start, plan, execute, and end the project.

6,Overall change control

The overall change control process runs throughout the project. The project management plan, the project scope statement, and other deliverables must be maintained through constant and careful management of changes.

The key to understanding the overall management of a project is to fully understand the scope, planning, and monitoring of the project. The overall management of a project runs through the entire process of project management. It interacts with other fields of knowledge, or complements other fields of knowledge, such as project scope management.

Therefore, the key to understanding the overall management of the project is to manage and control the project based on other knowledge fields.

In addition, in this Guide, contract management is not mentioned in the project startup phase during the overall project management. This part is indeed an omission. For the project, contract is an important document for the project startup phase. As everyone involved in their work, this part is linked to finance and can be determined in work practices.

 

 

NOTE 1: The documents involved in the overall project management, such as the project feasibility report and Project Charter, must comply with the project management documents mentioned above, but not all of them are involved, you can refer:Http://www.cnblogs.com/lzhdim/archive/2010/05/19/1738842.html

NOTE 2: In the guide, contract management is conducted in the Project Procurement Management Knowledge field. I personally think it is unreasonable, although the purchase part is linked to finance.
