Project Management Plans

1. Scope Management Plan

The scope management plan is a component of the project management plan that describes how the scope will be defined, developed, monitored, controlled, and validated.
The components of a Scope Management Plan include:
a. Process for preparing a project scope statement;
b. Process that enables the creation of the WBS from the detailed project scope statement;
c. Process that establishes how the scope baseline will be approved and maintained;
d. Process that specifies how formal acceptance of the completed project deliverables will be obtained.
The scope management plan can be formal or informal, broadly framed or highly detailed, based on the needs of the project.

2. Requirements Management Plan

Requirements Management Plan is an output of Collect Requirements process. The plan answers the questions such as:
1. Which are the methods used to identify requirements?
2. What analysis is required for identified requirements?
3. How will the requirements be prioritized?
4. How would the requirements be managed?
5. How would the requirements be tracked?
6. What is required out of requirements traceability matrix?

3. Schedule Management Plan

This involves the creation of a Schedule Management Plan, as well as to develop the expectations as to how the schedule will be met.

4. Cost Management Plan

The Develop Project management Plan in Integration Management involves the creation of the cost management plan. “Cost” and “Budget”, these two words are used
interchangeably in the exam. It is important to note that the step of creating the cost management plan exists irrespective of where it is created.

5. Quality Management Plan

1. The quality management plan is a component of the project management plan that describes how the applicable policies, procedures, and guidelines will be
implemented to achieve the quality objectives. It describes the activities and resources necessary for the project management team to achieve the quality
objectives set for the project.
2. The quality management plan may be formal or informal, detailed, or broadly framed. The style and detail of the quality management plan are determined by the
requirements of the project.

6. Resource Management Plan

Before any project can proceed, the project resource requirements need to be defined. The main part of this initial planning step involves identifying the type and quantity of
resources that are required, including people. Some resources have a grade or skill level associated with them, such as experience level of people, or size of crane.

7. Communications management plan

Plan communications consider the performing organization's environment (i.e. Enterprise Environmental Factors), including its culture and expectations. The performing
organizations processes, procedures, historical records, lessons learned and other information (i.e. organizational process assets) should also be taken into consideration. The
output is the Communications Management Plan which is a component of the Project Management Plan. During project initiation, the efforts would begin to identify
stakeholders and their communication requirements. In planning, it is determined how to apply that information.

8. Risk management plan

Plan Risk Management process involves planning the total time to be spent on risk management based on the needs of the project. It involves identifying the resources and
the process of performing risk management. Organizational process assets are used effectively by the project manager to plan risk management.
The individuals involved in Planning Risk Management include:
Project Manager
Sponsor
Team
Customer
Other Stakeholders
Experts

9. Procurement Management Plan

A formal process to obtain goods and services is known as Procurement. Procurement Management Plan, Procurement Statement of Work (SOW), procurement documents,
change requests, additional procurement documentation and lessons learned are the outputs of a Procurement Management Process.

10. stakeholder engagement plan

Plan Stakeholder Management process involves managing stakeholder expectations which influence throughout the lifecycle of the project. This process provides a plan to
interact effectively with stakeholders and support projects interest.
 11. Change Management Plan
The Change Management Plan is a part of the Change Management Process. The Change Management Plan is used to describe the process for dealing with changes within
the project.

12. Configuration Management Plan

It is developed during the Develop Project Management Plan process and changes to it are controlled through the Perform Integrated Change Control process.

The “configuration” is specification of both the project deliverables and processes. The Configuration Management Plan documents how the deliverables and processes will be
identified, selected, defined and verified. It also documents how it will be managed, that is, manually or by the use of some configuration management system, and how
changes to the project configuration will be managed and coordinated.

13. Scope baseline

Scope baseline is referred to as the approved version of a scope statement, work breakdown structure (WBS), and its associated WBS dictionary, that can be changed only
through formal change control procedures and is used as a basis for comparison.

14. Schedule baseline

A schedule baseline (sometimes referred to as a target baseline) is the original approved project schedule, which is agreed by project stakeholders before the project starts. It
does not change. It is a fixed measure which is used as a planning yard mark against which the progress on the actual project schedule can be measured.

15. Cost baseline

The cost baseline is that part of the project baseline that handles the amount of money the project is predicted to cost and on the other side when that money will be spent. It
is an approved budget usually in a time distribution format used to estimate, monitor, and control the overall cost performance of the project.

16. Performance measurement baseline

Each of the triple constraints (time, cost, scope) have a baseline, which is established as part of the overall project management plan. This is done during the planning process,
and records what the project had planned, scheduled, budgeted for, in terms of the schedule, scope and cost. It should contain everything that the customer needs, as per the
agreed scope. These three baselines put together are called the Performance Measurement Baseline.

17. Project life cycle description

The life cycle of a project can spawn from the initiation phase to its closure phase and may involve some additional or some reduced steps varying from industry to industry.
A project management process includes Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring and Controlling, and Closing process groups.

18. Development approach

A description of approach used to develop the product, service, or result, such as predictive, iterative, agile, or a hybrid model.
