We're still in Project integration management we've been initiating we've done planning.
Now we're going to talk about the processes to direct and manage project work.
We know that project management is about getting things done.
So this means executing our process for executing is to direct and manage the project work we want the
project team to go out and get things done.
So this process is about satisfying project objectives doing the work spending the money.
This is done throughout the project lifecycle so each phase we're doing the work right.
So we're directing and managing the project work.
It's also about managing risk and allowing approved changes to come into the project.
So other things that you'll do in directing and managing the work we have to manage communications.
So follow that communications management plan collecting project data that we're not just doing the
work.
We also need some data about the work.
So things about actual cost versus what was plain and actual duration of task.
What's the overall project progress and then that allows us to report on that business.
So we'll talk about data a little bit more detail coming up completing lessons learned.
We do this throughout the project and managing stakeholder engagement we want stakeholders engaged and
then we also want to increase their engagement or maintain their engagement.
Let's look at the Ito's for direct and manage project work for inputs here the PM plan any part of the
plan can be used with directing managing work the different project documents.
Well specifically the change log are lessons learned milestones list or communications the schedule
a new term requirements traceability matrix.
This is a table where we just track requirements through the project.
We're really going to see that in chapter 5 on Scope management requirements.
The risk register Risk Report.
So those are all project documents.
The approved change requests we have to get those into the project to actually create them and then
we have ECF and OPM tools and techniques you need expert judgment.
You'll be using a project management information system APM I as like Microsoft Project are Primavera.
That's a p.m.-I us and of course you'll have meetings with your project team outputs.
What do you create as a result of directing and managing the work we have your deliverables.
You'll create data that raúl data issue log change request updates to your plan into project documents
look at all these documents that are updated here your activity list could be updated your assumptions
log.
Obviously lessons learned you do that throughout the project.
Your requirements could be updated.
Your risk register and your stakeholder register.
These all mean that it could be updated doesn't mean they have to be and then you have a organizational
process assets updates.
So that's directing in managing the project work.
Remember we're in Project integration management so this is the big process and execution about getting
things done.
