New Stakeholder Management Knowledge Area In Initiating Process Group each Knowledge Area starts with creating a subsidiary management plan, incl. Scope, Time, Cost Data and information flow redefined to align with DIKW model:

Data – Information – Knowledge – Wisdom Work Performance Information was renamed Work Performance Data Work Performance Measurements was renamed Work Performance Information

Work Performance Reports are output of Integration instead of Communications

The concepts of Business Value and Governance are introduced Supportive, Controlling, and Directive PMOs are discussed Iterative/incremental, and adaptive/agile life cycles are explained

New: Plan Stakeholder Management, Control Stakeholder Engagement



Integration Management Changes

Contracts as input to Develop Project Charter are now called Agreements Work Performance Data is output of Direct and Manage Project Work Work Performance Reports are the output of Monitor and Control Project Work Outputs of Perform Integrated Change Control are Approved change requests and Change log

No longer called Change request status updates Change log now has clear origination point



Scope Management Changes

New Plan Scope Management process produces

Scope Management Plan Requirement Management Plan

WBS and WBS dictionary no longer mentioned as outputs of Create WBS Verify Scope was renamed to Validate Scope

Emphasis is on validating that Deliverables fulfill project objectives and deliver business value



Time Management Changes

New Plan Schedule Management process produces Schedule Management Plan Three-point estimates in Estimate Activity Durations can be made based on assumed distribution of values within range of estimates

Triangular distribution: tE = (tO + tM + tP) / 3 Beta distribution (from PERT): tE = (tO + 4tM + tP) / 6



Cost Management Changes

New Plan Cost Management process produces Cost Management Plan Three-point estimates in Estimate Costs can be made based on assumed distribution of values within range of estimates

Triangular distribution: cE = (cO + cM + cP) / 3 Beta distribution (from PERT): cE = (cO + 4cM + cP) / 6

A table with Earned Value calculations was added to Earned Value Management in Control Costs



Quality Management Changes

Requirements documentation added as input to Plan Quality Management process

Connects product requirements to project quality planning effort

Two groups of quality tools

Seven basic quality tools – for all quality processes Quality management and control tools in Perform Quality Assurance includes a list of seven quality tools that can be used in addition to tools from Plan Quality Management and Control Quality



Human Resource Mgmt Changes

No significant changes In the Manage Project Team process, the Issue log moved from tools and techniques to inputs

Issue log originates in Manage Stakeholder Engagement process



Communications Mgmt Changes

Processes with stakeholder focus were moved to new Stakeholder Management knowledge area

Manage Communications (previously: Distribute Information) goes beyond information distribution

Identify Stakeholders Manage Stakeholder Engagement (previously: Expectations)

Focuses on appropriate generation, receipt, and understanding of project information

Control Communications monitor and controls project communications throughout life cycle

Ensures that stakeholders’ information needs are met Ensures optimal information flow among communication participants



Risk Management Changes

No significant changes “Positive risks” are now referred to as “opportunities” Risk attitudes are influenced by factors:

Risk appetite Risk tolerance Risk thresholds

Risk register updates as output of risk planning processes were replaced with Project documents updates

Risk register originates in Identify Risks process, and is updated as information is added throughout risk planning processes



Procurement Management Changes

Contracts are referred to as Agreements ITTO changes in Plan Procurement Management

Teaming agreements was removed as input, and is resurfacing as Prior agreements, under Organizational Process Assets, as input to Conduct Procurements Risk related contract decisions was removed as input, and moved under Project documents, as input to Conduct Procurements Contract types moved from tools and techniques to inputs under Organizational Process Assets

ITTO changes in Conduct Procurements

The input Qualified seller list was moved under Organizational Process Assets



Stakeholder Management Changes

New Stakeholder Management knowledge area focuses on importance of appropriately engaging stakeholders in key decisions and project activities In addition to new processes in Planning and Monitoring & Controlling, Stakeholder Management has two previous Communications Management processes

Identify Stakeholders Manage Stakeholder Engagement (previously: Expectations)

The Issue log originates as output from Manage Stakeholder Engagement



Monitoring & Controlling Changes

All processes (except Integration Management processes) have Work performance data as input, and Work performance information as output

New Tools & Techniques

Meetings – in 17 processes throughout Analytical techniques – in 7 processes (4 in Planning) Facilitation techniques – in 2 Integration processes

(Initiating, Planning ) 56% more Expert judgment (from 18 to 28 processes)
