Planning the project

Planning is very important, and all projects must be planned.

The project manager plans the project with input from the team and stakeholders, not on his or her own.

Part of planning involves deciding which processes oink PMBOK Guide should be used on each project and how to tailor those processes to the project.

There are plans for how the knowledge areas of scope, time, cost, quality, human resources, communications, risk procurement, and stakeholder management will be planned, managed , and controlled.  These are called management plans, and every project has one for every knowledge area.

If at all possible, all the required work and all The stakeholders are identified before the project work actually begins.

The project manager determines metrics to be used to measure quality.

The project manger has a plan for continually improving processes.

The project manager creates a system to reward team members and stakeholders.

All roles and responsibilities are CLEARLY documented and assigned to specific individuals on the project.  These may include things like reporting responsibilities, reeks management assignments, and meeting attendance as well as project work.

The project manager focuses extensively on identifying risks.

The stakeholders, as well as team members, are assigned risk identification and risk management  duties.

The project manager realizes that managing risks saves the project time and money.

Project cost and schedule cannot be finalized without completing risk management.

The project manager assesses whether the project can meet the end date and other project constraints and objectives. He or she then meets with management to resolve any differences BEFORE the project work starts.  The project manager knows unrealistic schedules are his or her fault.

The project manager plans when and how to measure performance against the performance measurement baseline, as documented in the project management plan, but he or she also has other measurements to use to determine how the project is performing while the work is being done.

The project management plan is realistic, and everyone believes it can be achieved.

The exam defines a kickoff meeting in a way that maybe different from your understanding of a kickoff meeting.
