Briefly describe what happens in each of the five project management process groups (initiating, planning, executing, monitoring, and controlling, and closing). What type of activities are done before initiating the project.
Initiating - includes defining and authorizing a progect of project phase. Initiating processes take place during each phase of a project.
Planning - includes devising and maintaining a workable scheme to ensure that the project addresses the organization's needs.
Executing - includes coordinating people and other resources to cary out the various plans and produce the products, services, or results of the project or phase.
Monitoring and controlling processes - include regularly measuring and monitoring progress to ensure that the project team meets the project objectives.
Closing - includes formalizing acceptance of the project or project phase and ending it efficiently.
The types of activities that are done before initializing are reexamining the business need for the project and initiation of all activities to ensure the project team completes all the work.
I like these definitions that you have given. Clear and concise. I will just add that in during the closing phase, the project is often reviewed by the project manager. What went well? What didn't? Did this project meet it's scope, time, and cost goals? What lessons can be learned from this project and applied to future projects? etc...
