PROCESSES

The project management process groups are not discrete, one-time events; they are overlapping activities which occurs at varying level of intensity throughout each phase  of the project.

The process group interactions also cross phases such that closing one phase provides an input to initiating the next. For example, closing a design phase requires customer acceptance of the design document. Simultaneously, the design document defines the product description for the ensuing implementation phase. This interaction is illustrated in Figure 3-3.
