Summary - Managing Project Work

Let us summarize the important points we learnt in the previous set of Chapters on Project Execution.

• The project management plan is executed using the processes in the executing process group.
• The high-level umbrella process in this group is the Direct and Manage Project Execution process, whose main goal is to produce the project deliverables.
• A significant task to perform during project execution is quality assurance, which involves auditing the results from quality control measurements to ensure that quality requirements are being met.
• Due to a lack of resources in the performing organization, you might need to obtain some products, services, or results from outside the project team to complete the project. This is called procurement.
• The Conduct Procurements process is used to implement the procurement plan, which involves obtaining seller responses, selecting sellers based on the responses, and reaching an agreement with the selected sellers, such as a contract to obtain (procure) the products, services, or results.
