combine, unify and coordinate the various processes and project management activities within the Project Management Process Groups. In this article we are going to discuss in-detail about various processes that form a part of the Integration Management knowledge area, their inputs, tools and techniques, outputs. We'll be also discussing in detail on where they fit into project management framework.Various processes in the Integration Management knowledge areas include : 1) Develop Project Charter Develop Project Charter is the first process in Integration Management knowledge area.Project charter is the critical document and includes a range of information including : 1) Project Title and Description 2) Project Manager assigned and authority level 3) Business Case 4) Resources Preassigned 5) Stakeholders 6) Stakeholder requirements as known 7) Product description/deliverables 8) Measurable project objectives 9) Project approval requirements 10) High-level project risks ITTO based on PMBOK: 1) Integration Management - Develop Project Charter Inputs : 1) Project Statement of Work 2) Business Case 3) Contract 4) Enterprise Environmental Factors 5) Organizational Process Assets Easy Memorization Technique : Remember it as ---- POCE + B - This is a simple mnemonic. Poce is the position and imagine it to be in "B" shape. So POCEB is a good pnemonic Tools And Techniques : 1) Expert Judgement - Develop project charter is in initiating Process Group. So we need to judge things. Remember as expert judgement Output : 1) Project Charter --- Develop Project Charter ---gives----> Project Charter To Summarize : Integration Management - Develop Project Charter - POCE+B ; expert judgement ; project charter Small story : Project Manager is in disguise of a judge in pose "B" and giving expert judgement to develop project charter as output. 2) Develop Project Management Plan 3) Direct and Manage Project execution 4) Monitor and Control Project work 5) Perform Integrated Change Control 6) Close Project or phase Close project or phase process is the last and sixth process in Integration Management knowledge area.Close project or phase comes under Closing process group. In this article we are going to discuss memorization techniques on close project or phase.ITTO (Inputs, Tools And Techniques, Outputs) are taken from PMBOK (Project Management Body Of Knowledge) 4th (foutrh) Edition. 6) Integration Management - Close Project or Phase Inputs : 1) Project Management Plan 2) Accepted Deliverables 3) Organizational Process Assets Mnemonic/Easy Memorization Technique/Easy way to remember - PA + O (Personal Assistant Reports To Officer) Tools and Techniques : 1) Expert Judgement Output : 1) Final product, service or result transition 2) Organizational process assets updates Mnemonic/Easy Memorization Technique/Easy way to remember - FO (Final Output) To summarize the ITTO memorization of Integration Management - Close project or phase remember - Personal Assistant (PA) reports to Officer (O) (PA + O - Input). Officer uses his expert judgement (Tool & Technique) and comes out with final output (FO - Output). Stay Tuned With us. We'll be discussing about ITTO Memorization on scope management knowledge area processes in the forth coming posts. This is the first knowledge area in project management framework. Integration management knowledge area includes the processes and activities needed to identify, define, combine, unify and coordinate the various process and project management activities within the project management Process Groups. This is a definition from PMBOK 4th Edition. In this post we are going to discuss the different processes in integration management knowledge area, ITTO of various processes and easy methods of remembering them.Processes, ITTO are based on PMBOK 4th edition. IntegrationManagement Knowledge Area - Processes 1) Develop Project Charter 2) Develop Project Management Plan Inputs : 1) Project Charter 2) Outputs From Planning Processes 3) Enterprise Environmental Factors 4) Organizational Process assets Mnemonic/ Memorization Term : OOPE (Remeber - OOPS!!!!) Tool And Technique : 1) Expert Judgement Output : 1) Project Management Plan OOPE -------------Expert Judgement ----------------> Project Management Plan 3) Direct and Manage Project Execution 4) Monitor And Control Project Work 5) Perform Integrated Change Control 6) Close Project or Phase Direct and Manage Project Execution is the next process in Integration Management.Direct and Manage Project execution comes under Execution process group.We've discussed easy ITTO memorization techniques for the process Direct and Manage Project execution - third process in Integration Management.ITTO (Inputs, Tools And techniques, Outputs) are based on PMBOK (Project Management Body Of Knowledge) 4th (Fourth) Edition. 3) Integration Management - Direct and Manage Project Execution Inputs : 1) Project Management Plan 2) Approved Change Requests 3) Enterprise Environmental Factors 4) Organizational Process Assets Mnemonic/Easy Memorization Technique - APE + O ; POEA - It has a dictionary meaning - maritime shipping and trade. So, remember it as either "POEA" or APE + O (APE bent in form of letter O). Tools And Techniques : 1) Expert Judgement 2) Project Management Information System (PMIS) Mnemonic/Easy Memorization - EP ; PE - Remember (B.E as reference) Output : 1) Deliverables 2) Work Performance Information 3) Change requests 4) Project Management Plan updates 5) Project document updates Mnemonic/easy memorization technique - WDC (Washington DC) + 2P ( 2 Presidents in Washington DC - Just a joke!!!!!!! Please don't take it seriously!!!!!!) - So we can also remember it as 2P +WDC Summary Story/ summary Mnemonic to remember ITTO (Inputs, Tools And Techniques And Output) : APE dives into PMIS (so it assumes "O" shape) - APE in "O" (APE+O - Input) shape dives into PMIS and uses its expert judgement(Tools) . It sees that there are 2 Persons in Washington DC ( 2P + WDC - O/P). Integration is the high-level knowledge area that integrates the tasks undertaken at various stages to achieve the desired result.Following are the various processes in this knowledge area: 1) Develop project charter 2) Develop preliminary project scope statement 3) Develop project management plan 4) Direct and manage project execution 5) Monitoring and controlling 6) Integrated change control 7) Closing Project
