Steps

This work unit is decomposed into the following Work units, Events and Decisions

Initiation Roles <none>

The Initiation Process is the first process in the Project Management Life Cycle. In this process the project has to be defined. Business needs, project justification, project description, scope, purpose and deliverables are defined, all in the Project Charter

The Project Manager develops the Project Charter, that it is subject to approval by the Project Sponsor

The next step is Create Project Charter

If you use gedproEPM, this process is developed in Initiation of a project with gedproEPM

Create Project Charter

Planning Roles <none>

During the Planning Process the Project Management Plan is developed. This process also identifies and defines the project scope and the project cost, and schedules the project activities that occur within the project.

The Project Manager develops the Project Management Plan that is subject to approval by the Project Sponsor

In this phase the Project Manager defines:

• Scope
• Deliverables
• Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
• Costs
• Quality
• Resources
• Communications
• Risk
• Procurement
• Project Organization

The next step is to create or modify the Project Management Plan

Execution and Control Roles <none>

The Project Manager directs and manages the project execution making sure that the necessary quality level is attained.

In this process the Project Manager:

• Acquires the Project Team
  
• Executes the Procurement Plan
• Elaborates the Project State Report
  
• Collects the Change Request
• Identifies Corrective Actions and Preventive Actions

If you use gedproEPM, this process is developed in Execution and control of a project with gedproEPM

Project Change Management Roles <none>

In the Project Change Management Process Change Requests, Corrective Actions and Preventive Actions are accepted or rejected.

The Project Manager proposes the changes; the corrective and the preventive actions are approved or rejected by the Project Sponsor
