Chapter 4 Project Integration Management
The project manager is responsible for integration and cannot delegate authority to others (4.2, 4.6, 4.7)
4.1 Develop a project charter
effect
①Formal approval document of the project
②Formally appoint the project manager
③ Authorize project managers to use organizational resources
Drafting: Project manager drafts
Approval for release: Sponsor (company senior management), the sooner the better, before planning (PMI hates other people’s planning, let the project manager do it)
4.1.1Input
Business documents (argument SOW)
Is it worth the investment: cost-benefit analysis (benefit-cost>0?)
Business needs: What problem does the project solve?
Project Boundaries: What to do and what not to do
Basis for executive decisions
agreement: contract
business environment factors
Organizational process assets (prevent mistakes, improve performance)
Charter template

Hypothetical log
Assumptions identified in the early stage: uncertain factors that the project success depends on and for which the project manager is incompetent. The more assumptions, the smaller the risk.
Constraints identified at an early stage: Factors limiting project manager selection (career environment factors)
4.2 Develop project management plan
The project management plan contains all sub-plans
Defines the project's scope, time, and cost baseline, which is used to monitor project performance
Before being determined as a baseline, the project management plan needs to be updated multiple times (progressive detailing). After being determined as a baseline, it must go through the overall change control process before it can be updated.
Approved by sponsor or client

Benchmarks cannot be changed easily. Changes must be made through changes.

Heavy rain is a risk
Lessons: After the fact, it’s about choices
change request
Definition: Changes are necessary when plans and actual conditions are inconsistent
Classification:
