Project Management Plan

The document that describes how the project will be executed, monitored and controlled, and closed.

Definition

It integrates subsidiary plans (scope, schedule, cost, quality, resource, communications, risk, procurement, stakeholder engagement, requirements, configuration, change management) and the scope, schedule, and cost baselines. It is progressively elaborated and changed only through integrated change control once baselined.

Example

The PM consults the communications management plan section to decide how to notify stakeholders of a delay.

Exam tip

When a question asks what to check first, the project management plan is frequently the answer.
