Project Planning Process (PP) Controls - Enterprise Strategic Plan - Enterprise Policies & Standards Enablers - Enterprise Project Procedures & Processes - Enterprise Infrastructure Activities - Define Scope, Objectives, and Constraints - Define WBS, Work Packages, Schedules & Budgets - Prepare Project Plans - Establish Project Structure, Roles & Responsibilities Outputs - Project Plans, WBS & Data Dictionary - SEP, tailored CMP, IMP, RMP & QMP - Key Personnel & Resources - Project Performance Measures Inputs - Proposals - Project Constraints - Roles & Responsibilities - Resource Requirements Forecast 5 | 2010

Project Assessment & Control Process (PAC) Activities - Assess the project - Control the project - Close the project Controls -Applicable laws and regulations -Industry standards -Agreements -Project Procedures and Standards Enablers -Organization/Enterprise Policies, procedures, and standards -Organization/Enterprise Infrastructure -Project Infrastructure Outputs -Project Performance Measures assessment -Project status report -Project Directives -Change requests Inputs -Project Plans -Risk profile -Configuration baseline -SEP -WBS -Project schedule -Project budget -Procedures -Reports 6 | 2010

Decision management Process (DM) Inputs - Problem or decision gate - History of prior decisions - Assessment from all relevant persons Outputs - Strategy - Preferred course of action - Decision rationale documents Controls - Enterprise Strategic Plan - Enterprise Policies & Standards Activities - Define strategy; success criteria - Define and evaluate alternatives - Involve relevant persons - Make and record decision Enablers - Enterprise Project Procedures & Processes - Enterprise Infrastructure 7 | 2010

Risk Management Process (RM) Controls - Enterprise Strategic Plan - Enterprise Policies & Standards Outputs - Risk Matrix; status, priority, strategy - Risk mitigation action plan Inputs - Project risk assessments - Prior Risk Matrix - Project plans & performance Activities - Identify risk items - Analyze and prioritize risk items - Specify strategy for each risk item - Communicate risk status and actions Enablers - Enterprise Project Procedures & Processes - Enterprise Infrastructure 8 | 2010

Risk = Probability * Impact 9 | 2010

Likelihood Low Risk LowHigh Low High Risk Medium Risk Consequence Level of Risk Depends upon both Likelihood and Consequence (Probability * impact) 10 | 2010

Risk Management Process Activities Risk Identification Risk Assessment Risk Handling Risk Tracking and Control Risk Mitigation 11 | 2010

Mission Changes Typical Relationships Among the Risk Categories 12 | 2010

Configuration Management Process (CM) Controls - Enterprise Strategic Plan - Enterprise Policies & Standards Outputs - Configuration baseline(s) - Baseline control - Documented status and impact of change request Inputs - Configuration baseline(s) - Change requests - CMP Activities - Identify items for configuration management - Assess and control changes to items - Communicate status of controlled items - Maintain baseline currency Enablers - Enterprise Project Procedures & Processes - Enterprise Infrastructure 13 | 2010

Requirements changes are inevitable Configuration Management 14 | 2010

Information Management Process (INFOM) Controls - Enterprise Strategic Plan - Enterprise Policies & Standards Outputs - Published, current, valid system information Inputs - System-relevant information - Data dictionary - IMP Activities - Identify information to be managed - Define representations - Transform, maintain, publish information Enablers - Enterprise Project Procedures & Processes - Enterprise Infrastructure 15 | 2010

Measurement Process (MEAS) Inputs -Measurement of effectiveness needs and data -Measurement of Performance needs and data -Technical Performance Measures needs and data -Project Performance Measures needs and data -Organizational Process Performance Measurements needs -Organizational Process Performance data Outputs -Measurement Strategy -Measurement repository -Measurement report -Measurement Evaluation Report Controls -Applicable laws and Regulations -Industry Standards -Agreements -Project Procedures and Standards -Project Directives Activities - Define strategy; success criteria - Define and evaluate alternatives - Involve relevant persons - Make and record decision Enablers -Organization/Enterprise Policies, Procedures and Standards -Organization/Enterprise infrastructure -Project Infrastructure 16 | 2010
