Planning Process Group

The set of processes used to define project scope, sharpen objectives, and build a detailed plan of actions so the project can achieve the goals for which it was started.

Key Points

  • Converts the project vision into a clear scope, objectives, and an integrated plan.
  • Produces the project management plan, including baselines and subsidiary plans.
  • Uses progressive elaboration; plans are refined as more information becomes available.
  • Engages stakeholders and the team to align expectations, risks, and constraints.

Example

A city IT department plans a new service portal. During the Planning Process Group, the team defines scope and acceptance criteria, creates the WBS, estimates costs and durations, sequences activities into a schedule, sets the budget, identifies risks with response strategies, and develops plans for quality, resources, communications, procurement, and stakeholder engagement. The result is an integrated project management plan with scope, schedule, and cost baselines.
