All of us know that the project managers are also called as integrators. The project integration includes the processes and activities needed to identify, define, combine, unify, & coordinate the various processes & project management activities within the project management process groups. This Includes characteristic of unification, consolidation, articulation & integrative actions that are crucial to project’s successful completion.  \nIn an organization there will be people designated for managing different knowledge areas of the project. For example to manage scope and collector gather or elicit requirements there will be designated business analysts in consultation with the project manager. To manage time there can be a separate department for scheduling. Similarly there can be a quality department and a quality manager. Risk manager to manage risk. Human resource manager, communication manager and procurement manager to manage their respective areas. But ultimately it is the responsibility of the project manager to coordinate with these officials and to integrate all these functions towards the successful completion of the project within the scope, budget and on time. That is Integration Management.  \nTherefore this knowledge area is Primarily concerned with effectively integrating the processes in all other project knowledge areas like, scope, time, cost, quality, human resource, communication, risk, procurement and stakeholder management within the project management process groups. And these are required to accomplish project objectives within an organization’s defined procedures and achieving customer satisfaction. Which intern requires ongoing communication with the customer to keep the customer informed about the progress of the project time to time and to determine whether expectations have changed or achieved until the successful closing of the project. The approach will be different depending upon the (Predictive, Iterative or Agile) project life cycle.  \nFirst process in this knowledge area is to Develop Project Charter, which comes under initiation process group. There are only two processes in initiation process groups. The other process comes in the initiation process group is “identify stake holders” which is coming under the stakeholder management knowledge area.  \nThe project charter is the document that formally authorizes a project, and provides the project manager with the authority to apply organizational resources to the project activities. The key benefit is a well-defined project start and project boundaries, creation of a formal record of the project & a direct way for senior management to formally accept and commit to the project.  \nDevelop Project Charter: Inputs  \n1. Project Statement of Work (SOW): A written description of the deliverables supplied by the project. Given by the customer (mostly with the help of a business analyst) . It references the following. Business Need, Product Scope Description and Strategic Plan.  \n2. Business Case: describes the necessary information from a business standpoint to determine whether or not the project is worth investment and reasons to undertake this project to produce a product or service and its value addition to the organization. It’s usually a result of one of the following:  \n􀁸 Market Demand  \n􀁸 Organizational Need  \n􀁸 Customer Request  \n􀁸 Technological Advance  \n􀁸 Legal Requirement  \n􀁸 Ecological Impact  \n􀁸 Social Need  \n3. Agreements: contracts, Service Level Agreements (SLA), letter of agreements, letter of intents, etc.  \n4. Enterprise Environmental Factors (EEF): EEF are the internal and external factors effecting the organization such as internal politics for power and authority and external political changes may have good or bad ef","cbCaiqVpGp66uJmZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqVpGp66uJmZ","pdf",514804,"English","# Project Integration Management\n## Role of the Project Manager as Integrator\n## Scope of Integration Across Knowledge Areas\n## Project Life Cycle Approaches\n## Develop Project Charter\n## Develop Project Management Plan","[{\"question\":\"What does Project Integration Management focus on?\",\"answer\":\"It focuses on effectively integrating processes across all other project knowledge areas within the project management process groups to accomplish objectives and customer satisfaction.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is the project manager ultimately responsible for integration?\",\"answer\":\"Even though specialists may manage scope, scheduling, quality, risk, and other areas, the project manager coordinates with these officials to integrate all functions toward successful completion within scope, budget, and time.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the Project Charter and what is its key benefit?\",\"answer\":\"The Project Charter formally authorizes a project and gives the project manager authority to apply organizational resources.
