Practical tips to PM – 7
Some of you could have wondered like I did as to why “Integration Management” is placed as the first chapter, first knowledge area in PMBoK because integrated project plan or PMP can be produced only after all other elements of planning are developed, right? We need to learn the other tools like WBS, Critical path, risk identification before we can learn EVM and change control, right?
But I guess the answer may be – An integrated view of the project should be developed even as we initiate the project and when we plan for the project. Risk identification has to happen even as WBS is developed to provide input to estimating the time and so on. So integration begins with project initiation, continues with planning, execution, control and closure. So my tip today is – Read integration management once before and once after the other 8 knowledge areas to get better insights into applying tools to arrive at the PMP.
