Introductory Notes

Integrated Project Management involves the following:

  • Establishing the project's defined process by tailoring the organization's set of standard processes

  • Managing the project using the project's defined process

  • Using and contributing to the organizational process assets

  • Enabling relevant stakeholders' concerns to be identified, considered, and, when appropriate, addressed during the development of the product

  • Ensuring that the relevant stakeholders perform their tasks in a coordinated and timely manner (1) to address product and product-component requirements, plans, objectives, issues, and risks; (2) to fulfill their commitments; and (3) to identify, track, and resolve issues

For Integrated Product and Process Development

Integrated Project Management also involves the following:

  • Establishing a shared vision by and for the project

  • Establishing a structure of integrated teams that are tasked to accomplish the objectives of the project

For Supplier Sourcing

Integrated Project Management also involves the following:

  • Including suppliers as relevant stakeholders

  • Coordinating the activities of critical suppliers with project activities

The integrated and defined process that is tailored from the organization's set of standard processes is called the project's defined process.

Managing the project's effort, cost, schedule, staffing, risks, and other factors is tied to the tasks of the project's defined process. The implementation and management of the project's defined process are typically described in the project plan. Certain activities may be covered in other plans that affect the project, such as the quality assurance plan, risk management strategy, and the configuration management plan.

Since the defined process for each project is tailored from the organization's set of standard processes, variability among projects is typically reduced and projects can more easily share process assets, data, and lessons learned.

This process area also addresses the coordination of all activities associated with the project including the following:

  • Technical activities such as requirements development, design, and verification

  • Support activities such as configuration management, documentation, marketing, and training

The working interfaces and interactions among relevant stakeholders internal and external to the project are planned and managed to ensure the quality and integrity of the entire product. Relevant stakeholders participate, as appropriate, in defining the project's defined process and the project plan. Reviews and exchanges are regularly conducted with the relevant stakeholders and coordination issues receive appropriate attention. Reviews and exchanges are regularly conducted with the relevant stakeholders to ensure that coordination issues receive appropriate attention and everyone involved with the project is appropriately aware of the status, plans, and activities. (See the definition of "relevant stakeholder" in the glossary.) In defining the project's defined process, formal interfaces are created as necessary to ensure that appropriate coordination and collaboration occurs.

This process area applies in any organizational structure, including projects that are structured as line organizations, matrix organizations, or integrated teams. The terminology should be appropriately interpreted for the organizational structure in place.

However, the specific practices, subpractices, and notes will provide many details that will assist you with this application.
