Executing Focus Area

Encompasses the activities used to deliver the project work in alignment with the integrated baseline, while allowing that baseline to be updated through approved changes when doing so increases the project's value.

Key Points

  • Carry out and coordinate the work to produce the planned deliverables.
  • Follow the integrated baseline (scope, schedule, cost, quality) and apply approved changes only.
  • Evaluate and implement baseline updates when they enhance the project's value proposition.
  • Manage teams, communications, quality, risks, and procurements during delivery.

Example

A team building a mobile app executes against the approved scope, schedule, and budget. They identify an accessibility feature that would significantly improve user adoption. The project manager submits a change request; once approved, the baseline is updated and the team incorporates the feature while continuing planned work.
