PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Project Managements Knowledge Areas
According to the PMI's PMBOK, each project should be divided into NINE main components. All your activities shall fall under one of them.
And they are called
KNOWLEDGE AREAS
I am going to list them with short and simple clarification to help you understand how to relate them to your projects
1- INTEGRATION MANAGEMENT
This is where you identify, define, combine, unify, and then coordinate any of your processes and project activities
2- SCOPE MANAGEMENT
Clearly any action related to your project scope. Collecting requirements, defining scope, creating WBS, verifying, and controlling
3- TIME MANAGEMENT
All processes related to managing completion project time. Defining, Sequencing, Estimating resource and duration, and developing and controlling your schedule
4- COST MANAGEMENT
Crisp Clear. Estimating, Determining, and Controlling your costs
5- QUALITY MANAGEMENT
All activities which determine the quality policies, objectives, and responsibilities
6- HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
Includes all processes concerned with Organizing, Managing, and Leading your project's team
7- COMMUNICATIONS MANAGEMENT
Includes all activities required to ensure timely and appropriate generation, collection, distribution, storage, retrieval, and ultimate disposition of project information
8- RISK MANAGEMENT
All activities related to risk planning, identification, analysis, response planning, and monitoring and controlling them as well
9- PROCUREMENT MANAGEMENT
All processes necessary to purchase or acquire products, services, or results needed from outside the project team
