In this presentation, we will discuss project integration management which is
the process of coordinating all the different aspects of a project. This includes developing the project management plan, managing the project schedule, managing project costs, managing project risks and managing project communications. Project Integration Management is essential for ensuring that all the different parts of a project work together seamlessly to achieve the project goals. INTRODUCTION Project Integration Management involves the processes and activities to identify, define, combined, unity and coordinate the various activities of a project. Project Integration Management includes making choices about resource allocation and managing the interdependencies among the project management knowledge Areas. PROJECT MANAGEMENT INVOLVES THE FOLLOWING. • A crucial process group within project management • Ensures all project elements and coordinated • Involves coordinating tasks, resources, stakeholders and other project elements • Balances competing request and makes trades-offs • Maintains a holistic view of the project Project Integration Management, however, is the process of bringing all the different processes involved in project management together into a cohesive whole. This involves developing the project management plan, which is the document that outlines how the project will be executed, monitored and controlled. It also includes managing the project schedule, which is the timeline for completing the project tasks. Additionally, project integration management involves managing project cost, which is the process to estimating, budgeting and controlling the projects financial resources. It also includes managing project risks, which is the process of identifying, assessing and responding to potential project risks. Finally, it also involves managing project communications, which is the process of planning, developing, executing, monitoring and controlling the communication activities of the project. PROCESSES OF PROJECT INTEGRATION MANAGEMENT In order to coordinate all aspects of a project, project integration management needs to create and manage the project charter and project management plan. The project integration management process is as follows: • Develop the project charter: The process of developing a document that formally authorizes the existence of a project and provides the project manager with the authority to apply organizational resources to project activities. • Develop the project management plan: This process involves defining, preparing and coordinating all subsidiary plans and integrating them into a comprehensive project management plan. This document outlines how the project will be executed, monitored and controlled. • Direct and manage project execution: The process of leading and performing the work defined in the project management plan and implementing approved changes to achieve the project’s objectives. • Monitor and control project work: This is the process of tracking, reviewing and reporting project process against the performance objectives defined in the project management plan. • Perform integrated chance control: The process of viewing all change request; approving changes and managing changes to deliverables, organizational process assets, project documents and the project management plan and communicating their disposition. This process involves managing all changes to the project, including scope changes, schedule changes and cost changes. • Ensure project quality: This process involves verifying and validating that the project deliverables meet the project requirements. • Close project or phase: This process involves formally completing all project activities and handing over the project deliverable to the customer. • Identifying stakeholders: This process involves identifying all the people and organizations who are affected by the project or who have an interest in its success. The processes of project integration management are interconnected and iterative. For example, the project management plan is developed during the planning process, but it is updated throughout the project as needed. Similarly, project monitoring and control is an ongoing process that takes place throughout the project lifecycle. BENEFITS OF PROJECT INTEGRATION MANAGEMENT • Improved project efficiency and effectiveness • Increased project success rates • Reduced project risks • Improved project communication • Enhanced stakeholder satisfaction There are many benefits to using project integration management. By coordinating all the different aspects of a project, project integration management can help to improve project efficiency and effectiveness. CHALLENGES/COMMON PROBLEMS OF PROJECT INTEGRATION MANAGEMENT • Keeping track of everything and knowing how one impacts the others can be very challenging. Nevertheless, if it not done accurately, it can lead to project failure. • Project with teams spread globally may face difficulties regarding information dissemination and there is high likelihood of wrong information being communicated to members of the team because of noises along the channel of media of communication. • Inadequate expertise advice on planning the project integration process can have a huge problem to the project’s success. Project integration management calls for very specify skills and project intelligence. Failure to do so, will result to poor project plan and execution. CONCLUSION
• Project integration management is essential for project success
• By coordinating all the different aspects of a projects. Project integration management can help to ensure that project is completed on time, on budget and to scope.
