Project Management Processes for PMP

• Projects are composed of processes.
• A process is “a series of actions bringing about a result”.
• Project processes are performed by people and generally fall into one of two major categories:
• Project management processes describe, organize, and complete the work of the project.
• Product-oriented processes specify and create the project’s product.
• Product-oriented processes are typically defined by the project life cycle
• Project management processes and product-oriented processes overlap and interact throughout the project.
• For example, the scope of the project cannot be defined in the absence of some basic understanding of how to create the product.
