Recall from Chapter 1 that project management consists of nine knowledge areas: integration, scope, time, cost, quality, human resources, communications, risk, and procurement. Another important concept to understand is that projects involve five project management process groups: initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing. Tailoring these process groups to meet individual project needs increases the chance of success in managing projects.
