Project Management Process Groups
by Skillsoft
Processes: a set of interrelated actions and activities performed to achieve a specified set of products, results, or services. Good processes, meaning those based on sound principles and proven practices, are project managers' best friends. They act like the solid tracks that keep a train going in the direction it needs to go. Following a set of established processes minimizes confusion and uncertainty for the project manager and all project stakeholders. It ensures the effective progress of the project from initiation through to close-out. In this course, learners will be given an overview of the project management process groups as defined in A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) Guide Fourth Edition published by the Project Management Institute (PMI®). Specifically, learners will be introduced to the following project management process groups: Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring & Controlling, and Closing. Learners will also discover how the process groups interact with the nine knowledge areas: Project Integration Management, Project Scope Management, Project Time Management, Project Cost Management, Project Quality Management, Project Human Resource Management, Project Communications Management, Project Risk Management, and Project Procurement Management. This course provides a foundational knowledge base reflecting the most up-to-date project management information so learners can effectively put principles to work at their own organizations. This course will assist in preparing learners for the PMBOK® certification exam. This course is aligned with the PMBOK® Guide Fourth Edition, published by PMI®, Inc., 2008.
