PMP-Project Performance Domain
concept
The project performance domain is a set of related activities that are critical to the effective delivery of project success
Project performance domains are areas of focus that interact, interrelate, and are interdependent to achieve desired project outcomes in a coordinated manner
Eight project performance domains: stakeholders, team, development approach and life cycle, planning, project work, delivery, measurement, uncertainty
Stakeholder Performance Domain
The Stakeholder Performance domain deals with stakeholder-related activities and functions
Expected results produced by the stakeholder performance domain
Establish productive working relationships with stakeholders throughout the project
Stakeholders agree on project goals
Stakeholders who are beneficiaries of the project are supportive and satisfied, while stakeholders who may be opposed to the project or its deliverables do not negatively impact project success.
stakeholder engagement
Stakeholder engagement includes implementing strategies and actions to promote productive stakeholder engagement
Stakeholder engagement activities begin before or at the beginning of the project and continue throughout the project
Harness effective stakeholder engagement
identify
understand and analyze
Power, role, attitudes, beliefs, expectations, level of influence, proximity to the project, interest in the project, other aspects related to interaction with stakeholders and the project
Prioritization
participate
communication type
communication method
push communication
Communication messages sent to stakeholders, such as memos, emails, voicemails, etc.
Push communication can be used for one-way communication with a single stakeholder or a group of stakeholders
Push communication hinders the ability to immediately determine reactions and assess understanding of the situation, and should be used with caution
pull communication
Information sought by stakeholders, for example: project team members looking for communication policies or templates on the intranet, running Internet searches, and using online repositories
Pull communication can be used to indirectly detect stakeholder concerns
interactive communication
Engagement goes deeper than push or pull communication
Communicate interactively while participating
It involves one or more stakeholders exchanging information, such as conversations, phone calls, meetings, brainstorming, etc.
Rapid feedback loops provide useful information through various forms of communication
Determine the extent to which stakeholders are aware of the message
Determine whether the stakeholders agree with the message
Identify nuanced or otherwise unexpected messages found by the receiver
Get other useful insights
supervise
Monitor the quantity and effectiveness of stakeholder involvement throughout the project

Check Results - Team Performance Domain
Development methods and lifecycle performance domains
Overview
The development approach and lifecycle performance domain involves activities and functions related to the development approach, cadence, and lifecycle phases of the project
Expected results
Development methodology aligned with project deliverables
A project life cycle consisting of phases from project inception to completion that connect business delivery to stakeholder value
A project life cycle consisting of phases that facilitate the delivery cadence and development approach required to produce the project deliverables
The relationship between development, cadence and life cycle
The type of project deliverable determines how development is conducted
The type of deliverables and development methods affect the number and pace of project delivery
The method of development of deliverables and the desired delivery cadence determine the project life cycle and its phases
delivery cadence
One time delivery
One-time delivery projects are only delivered at the end of the project
multiple deliveries
regular delivery
continuous delivery
Continuous delivery is the practice of delivering feature increments to customers immediately (usually using small batches of work and automation techniques)
Continuous delivery can be used for digital products
Continuous delivery emphasizes generating benefits and value throughout the product life cycle
development method
Predictive approach
Predictive methods are useful when project and product requirements are defined, collected, and analyzed at the beginning of the project. Also known as waterfall approach
A predictive approach enables project teams to reduce the level of uncertainty early in the project and complete much of the planning work in advance
A predictive approach can explore options through proof-of-concept development, but most project work follows a plan developed near the start of the project
Projects that adopt this approach can learn from the templates of previous similar projects.
hybrid approach
A hybrid development approach is a combination of adaptive and predictive approaches.
This development approach is useful when there is uncertainty or risk around requirements
A hybrid approach is also useful when deliverables can be modularized, or when there are deliverables that can be developed by different project teams
Hybrid approaches typically use iterative or incremental development methods
adaptive approach
An adaptive approach is useful when requirements are subject to a high degree of uncertainty and variability and may change throughout the project.
Adaptive methods specifically include the use of iterative methods and incremental methods
Considerations in Choosing a Development Approach
product, service or result
degree of innovation
Deliverables that are highly innovative or have not been done by the project team are more suitable for a more adaptive approach.
Demand certainty
Predictive approaches are well suited when requirements become well known and easily defined
A more adaptive approach may be more appropriate when requirements are uncertain, volatile, or complex and are expected to evolve throughout the project.
range stability
A predictive approach is useful if the scope of the deliverable is stable and unlikely to change
If the scope anticipates many changes, it can be useful to be closer to the adaptive end of the spectrum of development methods.
Ease of change
Related to requirements certainty and scope stability
A predictive approach is appropriate if the nature of the deliverables makes management and consolidation more difficult
Delivery options
risk
Safety requirements
regulations
project
Project variables that affect development methods
Stakeholders
schedule constraints
Funds availability
organize
organizational structure
culture
Organizational skills
Project team size and location
Definition of life cycle and stages
The type and number of project phases in the project life cycle depends on many variables, chief among which are the delivery pace and development approach
Examples of stages in the life cycle
feasibility stage
design phase
build phase
testing phase
Deployment phase
closing stage
Adaptive development method life cycle
Incremental development method life cycle
Predictive lifecycle example
Align delivery cadence, development approach and life cycle

Have a holistic approach to delivering project results
Elaboration of evolving information to produce the deliverables and project results sought to be achieved by undertaking the project
The time spent planning is appropriate to the circumstances
Planning information is sufficient to manage stakeholder expectations
There is a process of making adjustments to the plan throughout the project based on emerging and changing needs or conditions
planning variables
Variables that influence how projects are planned
development method

Project teams implement an iterative, adaptive approach
project deliverables
organizational needs
market conditions
legal or regulatory restrictions
deliver
Project scope is the work that must be completed to deliver a product, service, or result with specific characteristics and functionality
Estimate
interval
Accuracy
Accuracy
confidence
deterministic and probabilistic estimates
A deterministic estimate, also called a point estimate, is expressed as a number or amount, such as 3 months
Probability estimates include estimates within a certain interval and related probabilities within that interval
Absolute and relative estimates
Absolute estimates are specific information, using actual numbers. Only makes sense in certain circumstances
Workflow-based estimating
Developed by determining cycle times and throughput
Adjust estimates of uncertainty
schedule
A schedule is a model for executing project activities, including duration, dependencies, and other planning information
Schedule planning can use either a predictive approach or an adaptive approach
Steps followed by predictive methods
Step 1: Break down the project scope into specific activities
Step 2: Arrange related activities in order
Step 3: Estimate the effort, duration, personnel, and physical resources required to complete the activity
Step 4: Assign people and resources to activities based on availability
Step 5: Adjust sequencing, estimates, and resources until an agreed-upon schedule is reached
Other cases
Progress compression method
A schedule compression approach can be used if the schedule model does not match the originally desired end date
Rushing is a method of schedule compression that may include adding people to activities, working overtime, or paying to speed up delivery
Fast follow-up is also a method of progress compression
Fast follow-up typically requires applying lead and lag on the network path
Lead time refers to the acceleration of successor activities, such as starting successor activities before completion of predecessor activities
There is a lead time between the completion of task 2 and the start of task 4, example diagram
Lag refers to the delay in the successor activity
An example of using lag is to first change the relationship type between activities and then apply the lag
There is a lag between task 8 and task 7, example picture
Four dependencies
mandatory dependencies
Dependencies required by contract or determined by the inherent nature of the work
This type of dependency usually cannot be changed
selective dependency
A relationship based on best practices or project preferences, this type of dependency can change
external dependencies
The relationship between project activities and non-project activities. This type of dependency cannot be changed by
internal dependencies
The relationship between one or more project activities, this type of dependency can change
Adaptive schedule planning takes the form of incremental planning
Release and iteration planning, example diagram
Budget
The project budget evolves from the agreed-upon project estimate
Project budgets include contingency reserves to deal with uncertainty
Project team composition and structure
When planning your project team composition, start by determining the skill sets required to complete the project work.
communicate
Communication factors to consider
Who needs information
What information does each stakeholder need?
Why share information with stakeholders
What is the best way to provide information
When and how often the information is needed

Metrics
There is a natural link between planning, delivering and measuring effort, and this link is metrics
Metrics include setting thresholds that indicate whether job performance meets expectations, whether there is a tendency to deviate positively or negatively from expected performance, or whether it is unacceptable
consistency
Delivery commitments, funds allocated, type and availability of resources, uncertainty inherent in the project, and stakeholder needs
The timing of work within a project should be consistent with the needs of the work on related projects and the work of the organization's business
