Lesson 2, Page 4 Fig 2.2

A flowchart describing the transition from "Corporate and Business Strategies" to "Project Strategies" through two stages: Translating Business Strategies and Creating Project Strategies .

Under "Translating Business Strategies," there are four sets of strategies under three labels:

1. The first set is unlabeled and includes the following:
• requirements management
• work and contents scope management
• design statement of requirements
• definition of scope of work
2. The second set, labeled "APM PM BOK," and includes:
• project scope management
• project initiation
• scope planning, definition
• verification, change control
• product scope
• project plan requirement
3. The third and fourth sets are labeled "PMI PM BOK." They are:
• Set Three - project definition, including purpose, scope, output, areas of work, functional strategies, milestone plans, WBS, Lower-level plans, documentation, design process, resources, people requirements, and project organization
• Set Four - strategic framework, including control, technical, commercial, organizational, and people

Under "Creating Project Strategy," there are another four sets of concepts.

The first two are in a dotted-line box labeled "PMI PM BOK." They are:

• Project management planning and integration process, and
• Project plan development process

The third is labeled "APM PM BOK." It is:

• Generic project management knowledge and competencies

The fourth set is:

• Elements of project strategy , and includes organization management, resource management, procurement management, supply/logistics management, risk management, technical management, quality management, and financial management

Arrows connect various boxes as follows:

• There is an arrow between Corporate and Business Strategies to Translating Project Strategies (all four sets are included)


• The first set in Translating Business Strategies (requirements management, work and contents scope management, design statement of requirements, definition of scope of work) points to the first PMI PM BOK box (project management planning and integration process, and project plan development process) in Creating Project Strategies.


• The second set in Translating Business Strategies (APM PM BOK--project scope management; project initiation; scope planning, definition; verification, change control; product scope; project plan requirement), as well as the third set in Translating Business Strategies (the first set of PMI PM BOK; i.e., project definition, including purpose, scope, output, areas of work, functional strategies, milestone plans, WBS, Lower-level plans, documentation, design process, resources, people requirements, and project organization) also point to the first PMI PM BOK box (project management planning and integration process, and project plan development process) in Creating Project Strategies.


• The fourth set in Translating Business Strategies ( strategic framework, including control, technical, commercial, organizational, and people) points to the second PMI PM BOK box (project plan development process) in Creating Project Strategies.


• Within Creating Project Strategies , there is an arrow pointing from Generic project management knowledge and competencies to both PMI PM BOK boxes (project management planning and integration process, and project plan development process) above.


• Likewise, Elements of Project Strategy points to Generic project management knowledge and competencies.


• Finally, and also within Creating Project Strategies , the top PMI PM BOK box (project management planning and integration process, and project plan development process) points to the second PMI PM BOK box (project plan development process), which in turn points out of the image toward the statement "Project Strategy Incorporated into Project Plan."
