Glossary

3. Introduction to Project Integration Management
Includes processes required to ensure that the various elements of the project are properly coordinated.
Making tradeoffs
competitive objectives and alternatives
meet or exceed stakeholders needs and expectations

4. Introduction to Project Integration Management
Major processes of Project Integration Management
Project Plan Development
Integrating and coordinating project plans:
creating a consistent and coherent document
Project Plan Execution
Carrying out the project plan
Integrated Change Control
Coordinating changes across the entire
project

5. Introduction to Project Integration Management
Some characteristics of these processes
They are primarily integrative
They interact with each other and with the processes in the other knowledge areas
They occur at least once in every project phase
They may overlap
Focus of this chapter
Processes, tools and techniques used to integrate these processes

6. Project Integration Management Overview
Project Plan Development
Project Plan Execution
Integrated Change Control
Inputs
Tools and Techniques
Outputs

7. 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: Control Account Plans (CAPs)
The sum of all the integrated management control plans
will constitute the total project scope

8. 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

9. Project Plan Development - Inputs
Other planning outputs
in the other knowledge areas
base documents, such as WBS
application area-specific inputs
Historical information
Organizational policies
Quality management
Personnel administration
Financial controls

10. Project Plan Development - Inputs
Constraints
Applicable restriction that will affect the performance of the project
Assumptions
Factors that are considered to be true, real or certain, for planning purposes
Generally involve a degree of risk

11. Project Plan Development - Tools and Techniques
Project planning methodology
structured approach used to guide project team during development of the project plan
it can be simple or complex
makes use of hard and soft tools
Stakeholder skills and knowledge
environment in which stakeholders can contribute appropriately

12. Project Plan Development - Tools and Techniques
Project management information system (PMIS)
tools and techniques used to gather, integrate and disseminate the outputs of project management processes
from initiating through closing
manual and automated systems
Earned value management (EVM)
Integrates project’s scope, schedule and resources
Measures and reports project performance

13. Project Plan Development - Outputs
formal and approved document used to guide both project execution and project control
It may be summary or detailed
the same as Integrated project plan, in some application areas
Project plan X Project performance measurement baselines
Supporting details

15. 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

16. Project Plan Execution - Inputs
Project plan and supporting details
Output of the project plan development process
Organizational policies
It is also Input to the project plan development process
Preventive action
Anything that reduces the probability of potential consequences of project risk events
Corrective action
Anything done to bring expected future project performance in line with the project plan
Output of the various control processes

17. Project Plan Execution - Tools and Techniques
General management skills
Essential to effective project plan execution
Product skills and knowledge
Work authorization systems
Formal procedure for sanctioning project work to ensure that work is done at the right time and in the proper sequence
Value of the control X Cost of the control

18. Project Plan Execution - Tools and Techniques
Status review meetings
They will be held at various frequencies and on different levels
Project management information system (PMIS)
Organizational procedures

19. Project Plan Execution - Outputs
Work results
Information on work results is collected and fed into the performance reporting process
Tangible and intangibles deliverables
Change requests

20. Project Integration Management Overview
Project Plan Development
Project Plan Execution
Integrated Change Control
Inputs
Tools and Techniques
Outputs

21. 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

22. Integrated Change Control - Inputs
Project plan
Provides the baseline against which changes will be controlled
Performance reports
Provide information on project performance
Change requests
Oral / Written
Direct / Indirect
Externally / Internally initiated
Legally mandated / Optional

23. Integrated Change Control - Tools and Techniques
Change control system
Collection of formal and documented procedures that define how project performance will be monitored and evaluated
Includes the steps by which official project documents may be changed
Some characteristics
Group responsible to approving or rejecting proposed changes
Procedures to handle changes that may be approved without prior review

24. Integrated Change Control - Tools and Techniques
Configuration management
Performance measurement
Additional planning
Projects seldom run exactly according to plan
Project management information system (PMIS)

25. Integrated Change Control - Outputs
Project plan updates
Corrective action
Lessons learned
Include causes of variances, reasoning behind the corrective action chosen and other types of lessons learned should be documented

26. Glossary Assumptions and Constraints Baseline
Control Account Plans (CAPs)
Earned Value Management (EVM)
Earned Value (EV)
Project charter
Project management information system (PMIS)
Project management software
Project plan
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
