3 Confusing Points Large percent of PMPs Confuse the process groups for project phases They think the process groups (initiating, planning, executing, monitoring & controlling, and closing) are the names of project phases They do not realize that the processes of these process group repeat in every project stage As a result, they do not understand that the project life span could vary from one industry to another © 2012 SUKAD FZ-LLC (www. sukad. com) 22 February 2012

4 Clearing the Confusion To clear this confusion, we had published a series of blog posts explaining: Project Life Span vs. Project Life Cycle Project Phases vs. Stages Process Groups vs. Project Life Span In this post and slides, we map the process groups to SUKAD CAM 2 P Model (project life span model) © 2012 SUKAD FZ-LLC (www. sukad. com) 22 February 2012

Through these diagrams we show that the process groups repeat in every stage (or phase) and they ARE NOT project stages. Reference: PMBOK ® Guide Chapter 1.
