2 Throughout this book, PMP: Management Professional Study Guide, 3rd Edition, I ve discussed the inputs and outputs to the PMI processes. In this appendix you ll find the inputs, tools and techniques, outputs, and knowledge areas of the project processes listed by process. I think you ll appreciate the convenience of having all of this in one location. Enjoy!
