the project management plan. Indetifiying new risks. Providing information to support

status reporting.

request.Reviewing change request

prompltly.Managing the approved

changes.Manteining the integrity of

baselines

complete the activityAmont of resources to be

applied.

Develop Schedule

resource estimates.

Control Schedule Monitoring the status of the

project to update project progress and managing changes to the schedule baseline.Determining current status. Influencing the factors that create

schedule changes. Determining the changes.Managing the actual changes.

4. Project Cost Management

currency.Should be refined during the course of

the project.Are estimated for all the resources that

will be charged to the project.

manner.Cost expenditures do not

exceed the authorizede funding.

5. Project Quality Management

Describes needed process to ensure accomplishment of projects objectives.
