Aim: To understand the Administer Procurements process
The administer procurements process is the blueprint for managing the procurements process and making any changes as necessary. It is the process of comparing vendor or service performance to the contractual service level agreements (SLA). Due to its implications and its potential effect across several sections of the project or the enterprise, all team members must be aware of the legal ramifications of any change in the contractual relationship. In addition, project-vendor disbursements tend to tie the SLAs, or performance agreements, and deliverables to direct cash expenditures.
At all cost, you must avoid any undocumented or unapproved cash disbursements or change that might go against your project deliverables.
The table below shows the inputs, tools and techniques, and outputs for the administer procurements process.
