To answer these questions, start from what you know. Planning answers a few very important questions, such as What work will you do? and What exactly are you trying to accomplish? But you don’t know what to do without a plan. Remember what that means? It means that you possess formal authorization to conduct the work of the project. The work breakdown structure (WBS) is the result of decomposing work into smaller, more manageable components until the work and deliverables are defined to the work package level.Īfter you have completed the initiating processes, you are ready to start planning your project.These two documents provide the starting point for planning a project. The two outputs from initiating process group processes necessary to start planning are the project charter and the stakeholder register.Which planning process group process output is the result of project deliverable decomposition into manageable components called work packages?.What are the two main inputs (outputs from processes in the initiating process group) that you need to start planning a project? (Remember that you can’t start planning a project from scratch planning is not the starting point.).If you can correctly answer these questions before going through this section, save time by skimming the Exam Alerts in this section and then completing the Cram Quiz at the end of the section.
Understanding PMI’s Planning Process Group Let’s look at project planning in more detail.
You might think that planning processes are localized to a particular area of your project, but note that processes in the planning group span all 10 knowledge areas. Over half of the processes occur in this group 24 of the 47 processes are in this group. One of the most prominent of the process groups is project planning. These processes are organized into 10 knowledge areas and represent 5 process groups. Recall that PMI defines a total of 47 project processes that describe activities throughout a project’s life cycle. In Chapter 1, “Project Management Framework Fundamentals,” we introduced the PMI concepts of processes, process groups, and knowledge areas.
