Sequencing activities is the process of identifying and recording logical relationships among project activities.

Estimating activity resources is the process of estimating the types and quantities of materials, personnel, equipment, and supplies required for each activity.

Estimating activity duration is the process of estimating the number of work periods required to complete a single activity based on the results of resource estimation.

Developing a schedule is the process of analyzing the sequence of activities, durations, resource requirements, and schedule constraints and preparing a project schedule.

Estimating costs is the process of making an approximate estimate of the funds required to complete project activities.

Budgeting is the process of summarizing the estimated costs of all individual activities or work packages to establish an approved cost baseline

Planning quality is the process of identifying quality requirements and/or standards for a project and its products and describing in writing how the project will meet those requirements and/or standards.

Developing human resource plans is the process of identifying and documenting project roles, responsibilities, required skills, and reporting relationships, and developing a staffing management plan.

Planning communications is the process of identifying the information needs of project stakeholders and defining communication methods.

Planning risk management is the process of defining how project risk management activities will be implemented.

Identifying risks is the process of determining which risks may affect a project and documenting their characteristics.

Performing a quantitative risk analysis is the process of quantitatively analyzing the impact of identified risks on the overall project objectives.

Conducting qualitative risk analysis is the process of assessing and comprehensively analyzing the probability and impact of risks, prioritizing risks, and thus providing a basis for subsequent analysis or action.

Planning risk response is the process of formulating plans and measures to improve opportunities and reduce threats based on project objectives.

Planning procurement is the process of recording project procurement decisions, clarifying procurement methods, and identifying potential sellers.

Directing and managing project execution is the process of performing the work identified in the project management plan to achieve project objectives.

Implementing quality assurance is the process of auditing quality requirements and quality control measurements to ensure that appropriate quality standards and operational definitions are used.

Assembling a project team is the process of identifying available human resources and assembling the team required for the project.

Building a project team is a process of improving work capabilities, promoting team interaction, and improving team atmosphere to improve project performance.

Distributing information is the process of providing relevant information to project stakeholders as planned.

Managing stakeholder expectations is the process of communicating and collaborating with stakeholders to meet their needs and resolve problems that arise.

Implementing procurement is the process of obtaining seller responses, selecting sellers, and awarding contracts.

Monitoring project work is the process of tracking, reviewing, and adjusting project progress to achieve the performance objectives identified in the project management plan. Project supervision includes reporting project status, measuring project progress, and forecasting project performance. Performance reports need to be prepared to provide performance information on various aspects of the project, such as scope, schedule, cost, resources, quality, and risk. This information can be used as input to other processes.

Implementing total change control is the process of reviewing all change requests, approving changes, and managing changes to deliverables, organizational process assets, project documents, and the project management plan.

Verifying scope is the process of formal acceptance of a project's completed deliverables.

Controlling scope is the process of monitoring the scope status of projects and products and managing changes to the scope baseline.

Controlling schedule is the process of monitoring project status to update project progress and manage changes to the schedule baseline.

Controlling costs is the process of monitoring project status to update project budgets and manage changes to the cost baseline.

Implementing quality control is the process of monitoring and recording the results of performing quality activities to evaluate performance and recommend necessary changes.

Reporting performance is the process of collecting and distributing performance information, including status reports, progress measurements, and forecasts.

Monitoring risk is the process of implementing risk response plans throughout the project, tracking identified risks, monitoring residual risks, identifying new risks, and evaluating the effectiveness of the risk process.

Manage Procurement is the process of managing procurement relationships, monitoring contract performance, and taking necessary changes and corrective actions.
