The Project Team and all necessary resources should be in place and ready to perform project activities. The Project Management Plan is completed and baselined by this time as well. The Project Team’s and specifically the Project Manager’s focus now shifts from planning the project efforts to participating in, observing, and analyzing the work being done. In this phase the work activities of the Project Management Plan are executed, resulting in the completion of the project deliverables and achievement of the project objectives. This Process Group brings together all of the project management disciplines, resulting in a product or service that will meet the project deliverable requirements and the customers need.
