Processes can generally be structured into groups or knowledge areas. In this document the processes are structured according to their area of ​​expertise and involve all project management processes. The processes and knowledge areas are based on the Project Management Institute which is a widely accepted guide for project management. The knowledge areas are (Ó Conchúir, 2012): • Integration Management • Scope Management • Time Management • Cost Management • Quality Management • Human Resource Management • Communication Management • Risk Management • Product Management procurement The following section provides an overview of the processes. Therefore each of the project management knowledge areas is explained with tools and techniques. 4.1 Integration Management Integration management provides guidance to project managers to ensure that each activity is identified, combined and coordinated. It helps ensure that the project is seen as a whole and that all activities are carried out as defined (Ó Conchúir, 2012). In the next section, the most important processes involved in integration management are defined and explained. 4.1.1 Project Charter At the beginning of a project, the project charter is developed and contains all the high-level information, such as the project scope and general descriptions. This first document is usually signed by the client, project manager and sponsor to make sure everyone is on the same page. It must identify the outcome of the project and the work needed to achieve the outcome (Perrin, 2008; Stackpole, 2013). The project card can be used as a reverence if phase gates or milestones are reached. The current phase should be compared with the Charter and based on this comparison the project will have to be revised. ...... middle of paper ...... hey preach, and is it important to engineer success?
