9 What is Project Integration Management? Project Integration Management involves making choices about resource allocation, making trade-offs among competing objectives and alternatives, and managing the interdependencies among the project management Knowledge Areas. Project management processes are usually presented as discrete processes with defined interfaces while, in practice, they overlap and interact in ways that cannot be completely detailed in the PMBOK Guide Project Masters, Inc. 9

10 What is Project Integration Management? It is the utilization and coordination of all the processes during the life cycle of the project. Example: A client requests a change to the product during execution. In order to accomplish this, the project team would need to redefine the requirements (Scope), schedule it (Time), and then Price it (Cost), before requesting and getting the client s authorization to proceed (Change Control) Project Masters, Inc. 10

11 What is Project Integration Management? Project Integration Management must also address the integration of other systems and processes related to the project work: The work of the project must be integrated with the ongoing operations of the performing organization. Product Scope and Project Scope must be integrated. The activities of the various functional areas involved in the project must also be integrated Project Masters, Inc. 11
