Notes:
Projects directly linked to the organization mission and goals works with the information products in the boxes shown in the diagram, to manage the bolded elements in the strategic management scope outline.
After the project is planned, the execution of the project requires detailed tracking of events over time. This is necessary to identify and resolve variance from project budget (resource plan) or schedule (time plan).
For project planning and tracking to be performed effectively and efficiently, especially in a distributed effort, technology that links the two management processes together must be made available and used.
