Project Team influences: Project team which has influence on project include PM staff,
Project staff, Supporting experts, User/Client, Vendors, BD etc.
o Composition of project team: project team can be consist of following two types of
personals.
Dedicated: Team members who are associated with project as full time (full
day). They can be collocated or virtual existing and usually report to PM.
Part time: Team members who are associated with project as part time (some
hour a day). They can be collocated or virtual existing and usually report to PM.
Project Life Cycle: Project lifecycle is the series of the phases that a project possess from its
initiation to its closure. The life cycle provides the basic frame work for managing the project,
regardless of the specific work involved.
o Characteristics of the Project life Cycle: All projects can be mapped generically as
Starting project
Organizing and preparing
Carrying out the project work
Closing the project

-Impact of Variable based on project time
o Project Phases: A project phase is collection of logically related project activities that
culminates in the completion of the one or more deliverables. Phases can be linked in
sequential or overlapping relationship.
- Single phase project
- Overlapping relationship
11
o There are three major types of life cycle
Predictive ( Waterfall ) Life Cycle: are ones in which whole project scope , time,
cost required to deliver that scope are determined as early in the project life cycle as
practically possible.
Iterative and Incremental life Cycle: are ones in which project phases
intentionally repeat one or more project activities as understanding of product increases.
Iteration develops product through a series of repeated cycle while increments
successively add the functionality of product. Large and complex projects are
Adaptive life Cycle are intended to response to high levels of changes and
ongoing stakeholder involvement. Adaptive method are also iterative and incremental
but differ in that iteration are very rapid (usually with 2-4 weeks) and are fixed in time
and cost.

the 47 logically grouped project management processes, which are categorized into five

A Process is characterized by its Inputs, the tools and techniques that can be applied, and the
resulting output. A Procedure is defined as detailed series of steps to obtain results.
The project processes are performed by the project team with stakeholder interaction and
generally fall into one two major categories.
Initiating Process group contains 2 processes and performed to define a new project or a
new phase of an existing project by obtaining authorization to start a phase.
Planning Process group contains 24 processes and performed to establish the Scope of the
project, objectives and define course of action to attain objectives.
Executing Process group contains 8 processes and performed to complete the Scope of the
project to satisfy the project specifications.
Closing Process group contains 2 processes and performed to formally close the projects.

o Work performance Data: The raw observations and measurements
identified during activities performed to carry out project.e.g. Percentage of
work physically completed etc.
o Work performance Data: The Performance data collected from various
controlling processes, analyzed in context and integrated based on
relationships across areas. e.g. status of deliverable etc.
o Work performance Data: The physical or Electronic representation of
work performance information compiled in project documents, intended to
generate decisions or raise issues, actions or awareness.
