3
Initiating
This process group is the formal recognition that a new project exists. In this process, you typically set project goals, objectives and major milestones.
![Page 4: Project Management Rebekah 3Witt 1. The Project Management Process 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e115503460f94afdf6b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
4
Planning
This process group includes defining resources and developing a schedule and budget for achieving the project objectives. The critical nature of this process has led to a common project management phrase: “plan to plan.”
![Page 5: Project Management Rebekah 3Witt 1. The Project Management Process 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e115503460f94afdf6b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
5
Executing
This process group involves coordinating personnel and resources to achieve the project goal.
![Page 6: Project Management Rebekah 3Witt 1. The Project Management Process 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e115503460f94afdf6b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
6
Controlling
This process group includes completing project activities, measuring progress toward project objectives, and taking corrective action when necessary to bring the project back with the stated goals and objectives. A phrase often used to describe this process group is “work to plan”.
![Page 7: Project Management Rebekah 3Witt 1. The Project Management Process 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e115503460f94afdf6b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
7
Closing
This process group includes processes for ensuring acceptance of the final product, bringing the project to an orderly conclusion, and reviewing lessons learned from the project.

Common Pitfalls
Choosing the wrong project manager
Selecting inappropriate team members
Inadequately defining tasks
Unclear project expectations
Unavailability of Resources
Lack of support from senior management
![Page 9: Project Management Rebekah 3Witt 1. The Project Management Process 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e115503460f94afdf6b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Three Fundamental Components
The project environment
The project manager
The project team
![Page 10: Project Management Rebekah 3Witt 1. The Project Management Process 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e115503460f94afdf6b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
Internal Environment
A corporate culture that acknowledges and appreciates the efforts of team members
Good working relationships among team members
Open lines of communication
An environment of trust
A willingness to take risks
Recognition for effort and achievement
![Page 11: Project Management Rebekah 3Witt 1. The Project Management Process 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e115503460f94afdf6b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
External Environment
The parent organization, whose policies and procedures can influence a project
The political environment, which can affect a project if government policies change
The current business climate, which can decrease the effectiveness of a project’s output
The geographical setting, which can delay a project if an environmental issue arises
Social commitments, which can influence a project due to responsibilities such as reduced environmental risks
![Page 12: Project Management Rebekah 3Witt 1. The Project Management Process 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e115503460f94afdf6b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Project Stakeholders
A project stakeholder can be an individual, group, or organization involved in a project or with interests that influence the project. Stakeholders can be either formal or informal. Formal stakeholders have a direct interest or
investment in a project. Informal stakeholders are those who might be
affected by a project’s result.
![Page 13: Project Management Rebekah 3Witt 1. The Project Management Process 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e115503460f94afdf6b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Formal Stakeholders
The project manager, who is ultimately responsible for the success or failure of a project
The project team members, who are directly responsible for completing project tasks
The parent organization, which provides project personnel and resources
The customer that requests the end product or service
![Page 14: Project Management Rebekah 3Witt 1. The Project Management Process 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e115503460f94afdf6b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Stakeholder Influence
Some stakeholders have specific requirements they want the project to meet, and their stake in the project is significant
Less critical stakeholders might also have specific requirements for the project, and it is up to the project team to decide if their requirements can be fulfilled
Some stakeholders need to feel involved and might want to provide input and feedback throughout the project

Thinking
You may not recognize thinking as being a communication skill, but having a clear idea of symbolic internal reality you want to convey to another person or group of people is the beginning of effective communication.
If you don’t have the idea straight in your own mind, don’t be surprised if others get a different idea from your communication than what you thought you intended to say.
![Page 23: Project Management Rebekah 3Witt 1. The Project Management Process 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e115503460f94afdf6b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Listening
Effective listening allows you to enter the reality of the other person and understand what their internal symbolic reality is. Only when you do this are you able to communicate effectively by understanding what they are sharing with you, even if it is very different from your personal perspective.
You can’t truly communicate with someone else if you don’t understand their internal reality.
![Page 24: Project Management Rebekah 3Witt 1. The Project Management Process 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e115503460f94afdf6b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Speaking
The third communication skill that leads to effective communication is your selection of words and the voice tones that you use when you speak them. While this may be the part that most people concentrate on, research has revealed that nonverbal communication has more impact than the actual words that you use. In fact, the nonverbal portion of the communication can actually change the meaning of the words that you say.
![Page 25: Project Management Rebekah 3Witt 1. The Project Management Process 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e115503460f94afdf6b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Nonverbal Communication
Nonverbal communication is the communication skill that usually receives little thought because it happens automatically. We actually learn to communicate nonverbally at a very young age (a baby crying) and are able to communicate quite effectively using only nonverbal communication.

44
Dependencies
Mandatory – Activities are supposed to have a mandatory dependency if they have to be performed in a particular sequence for the work to be completed successfully.
Discretionary – Established by the project manager if there are no mandatory or external dependencies between activities.
External – An event or input outside the project activities that dictates the sequence of the activities.

54
Create Project Schedule
Perform an analysis to determine the period within which activities could be scheduled once resource limits and other known constraints are applied.
Evaluate the possible impact of any constraints and assumptions on schedule development.
![Page 55: Project Management Rebekah 3Witt 1. The Project Management Process 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e115503460f94afdf6b/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
55
Consider the Availability of Your Resources
Will you have the staff you need to perform the work when it is scheduled to be done?
Will you have access to the materials, facilities, and equipment you need to perform the work when it is scheduled to be done?
![Page 56: Project Management Rebekah 3Witt 1. The Project Management Process 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e115503460f94afdf6b/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
56
Consult Project Calendars
Are there any holidays during which your project team will not conduct work activities?
Will your project team conduct work activities on weekends?
When will your key project team members be taking vacations?
Are there any unmovable milestone dates that must be met?
![Page 57: Project Management Rebekah 3Witt 1. The Project Management Process 2](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e115503460f94afdf6b/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
57
Consider External Resource Constraints
Are there any regional or national holidays not previously accounted for?
Do you need to make considerations for travel time for meetings?

Project Stakeholders
A project stakeholder can be an individual, group, or organization involved in a project or with interests that influence the project. Stakeholders can be either formal or informal. Formal stakeholders have a direct interest or
investment in a project. Informal stakeholders are those who might be
affected by a project’s result.

IT Change Process
Documenting the change request:When the client requests the change, that request is categorized and recorded, along with informal assessments of the importance of that change and the difficulty of implementing it.
Formal assessment:The justification for the change and risks and benefits of making/not making the change are evaluated. If the change request is accepted, a development team will be assigned. If the change request is rejected, that fact is documented and communicated to the client.
Planning:The team responsible for the change creates a detailed plan for its design and implementation, as well as a plan for rolling back the change should it be deemed unsuccessful.
Designing and testing:The team designs the program for the software change and tests it. If the change is deemed successful, the team requests approval and a date for implementation.
Implementation and review:The team implements the program and stakeholders review the change.
Final assessment:If the client is satisfied that the change was implemented satisfactorily, the change request is closed. If the client is not satisfied, the project is reassessed and steps may be repeated.
