Managing projects means to apply knowledge, skills, and tools/techniques to project activities so that project objectives can be fulfilled. These appliances must be carried out throughout the project life cycle or within the five process groups (initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, closing).
The following list is the 9 Project Management Knowledge Area:- Integration
- Scope
- Time
- Cost
- Quality
- Human Resources
- Communication
- Risk
- Procurement
These areas are connected/integrated throughout the project life cycle such as the Scope of the project that needs managing, the performing actors managed by Human Resources management, medium to communicate information, etc.
Furthermore, apart from the memorizing aspect, these 9 knowledge areas are indeed important in project management practices; it helps distinguish a whole activities carried inside the project from the beginning to the very end cycle of a project, e.g.: "Collect requirements" belongs to Planning Process of The Five Process Group and grouped in Scope Management Knowledge Area; "Control schedule" belongs to Monitor and Control Process of The Five Process Group and grouped in Time Management Knowledge Area.
There are still a lot of examples for the connection between The Five Process Groups and The 9 Project Management Knowledge Area and the activities carried out in the project itself,but they will not be covered in this post alone; perhaps, many future posts will show clear examples as we go through PM materials
