There are ten knowledge areas that should be applied across those process groups.


These 10 knowledge areas include;

The idea is to unify the processes and enable monitoring, coordinating and tracking through a change log as the project progresses.

#3 Project Schedule Management
Involves breaking down the tasks in a project into small tasks with owners, start dates and deadlines along with their dependancies to ensure timely completion of the project.

#4 Project Cost Management
This involves the project budget, estimating the cost requires making of use of right tools and skills to ensure the funds allocated can meet the project requirements efficiently.

#5 Project Quality Management
This involves the requirements, metrics and processes put in place to make sure the results of the project meets the expected standards.

#6 Project Resources Management
This involves putting the right resources and team together to undertake the project, motivating them and ensuring that they are performing as per the laid out performance metrics.

#7 Project Risk Management
This involves identifying the risks that might be encountered during the project's life and the measures to deal with those risks.

#8 Project Communication Management
This involves determining and coming up with effective methods of communication to stakeholders and across the team in order to efficiently deliver the project.

#9 Project Procurement Management
This involves determining the outside dependancies that require outside procurement and determining how those outside resources will be involved.

This involves stakeholder analysis, finding out who they are and what their needs are so as to keep them engaged and in sync with the change and progress of the project.
