Project Management Knowledge Areas Recommended Tool(s) Justification for Tool

Project Integration Management • Expert Judgement

• Project Management Information System

• Change Control Meetings

Expert judgement is the primary tool used to bring the project together. From development of the project charter and development plan, to execution, monitoring and changing, and close of the project, expert skills and experience is used to manage and carry out the tasks to project completion. The project manager must use their expert judgement, with inputs from stakeholder interviews and the project management office to manage the project successfully.

A project management information system is a tool used to organize inputs and outputs from all project management processes. Consolidation of these inputs and outputs in a centralized information system enables multiple resources the access to the information as it’s needed. GenRays recently completed a project where project updates were readily available online and was seen as an item that worked well on the Lessons Learned report.

Change control meetings are tools used to formally perform integrated change control. A change control board is needed to assess and determined if change requests are necessary to keep the project flowing from one task to another, reducing unexpected change related stumbling blocks.
