Manage Project Execution

Project Execution is typically the part of the lifecycle of a project when the majority of the actual work to produce the product is performed and the majority of the Project Budget is expended. The purpose of Manage Project Execution is to manage every aspect of the Project Plan as work is being done to make certain the project is a success. This process is performed concurrently with the Manage CSSQ (Cost, Scope, Schedule, and Quality) and Monitor and Control Risks processes. The tasks in this process are performed concurrently and repeatedly as various aspects of the product of the project are constructed, tested, and accepted.

The tasks to Manage Project Execution are:

• Acquiring the project team
• Manage the Project Team
• Manage Project Implementation and Transition
• Manage Issues
• Manage Change Control Process
• Manage Acceptance of Deliverables
• Implement project communications plan (see ⇒ Project information distribution)
• Manage Organizational and Behavioural Change
