Project Management Process Group

An organized set of related project management processes that groups their inputs, tools and techniques, and outputs. The five Process Groups are Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring and Controlling, and Closing. These groups are not the same as project phases and may repeat across the project lifecycle.

Key Points

  • Groups processes by purpose and flow of inputs, tools and techniques, and outputs.
  • The five groups are Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring and Controlling, and Closing.
  • Process Groups can iterate multiple times within or across project phases.
  • They are not project phases and do not define the lifecycle structure.

Example

A company implementing a new CRM starts by authorizing the project (Initiating), develops scope, schedule, and budget baselines (Planning), configures and migrates data (Executing), tracks performance and manages changes (Monitoring and Controlling), and then obtains acceptance and archives records (Closing). These steps reflect Process Groups and can recur for each release.
