• Information distribution: making needed information available to
project stakeholders in timely manner
• Solicitation: obtaining quotations, bids, offers, or proposal as
appropriate
• source selection: choosing from among potential sellers
• contract administration: managing the relationship with the seller
• Scope planning: developing a written scope statement as the basis for future project decisions
• Scope definition: subdividing the major project deliverables into smaller, or manageable components
• Controlling processes--ensuring that project objectives are met by monitoring and measuring progress and taking corrective action when necessary
• Closing processes--formalizing acceptance of the project or phase and bringing it to an orderly end
• Risk response development: defining enhancement steps for opportunities and responses to threats
• Procurement planning: determining what to procure and when
Initiating process
• The formal initiating links the project to the ongoing work of the performing Org.
• Inputs: product description; strategic plan; project selection criteria; historical information
• Activity definition: identifying the specific activities that must be performed to produce the various project deliverables
• Activity sequencing: identifying and documenting interactivity dependencies
• Tools and techniques: project selection methods; expert judgement
• Outputs: project charter; project manager identified/assigned; constrains; assumptions

• The processes above are subject to to frequent iterations prior to competing the plan. For example, if the initial completion date is unacceptable, project resources, cost, or even scope may need to be redefined. In addition, planning is not an exact science-two different teams could generate very different plans for the same project.

Initiating processes
• Resource planning: determining what resources (people, equipment, materials) and what quantities of each should be used to perform project activities.
• Project plan development: taking the results of other planning processes and putting them into a consistent, coherent document.
• Quality planning: identifying which quality standards are relevant to the project and determining how to satisfy them
the activities included therein.
• Scope verification: formalizing acceptance of the project scope
• Quality assurance: evaluating overall project performance on the
• Activity duration estimating: estimating the number of work periods which will be needed to complete individual activities
