Project Management Process Explorer

Navigating the 49 Core Project Management Processes

Welcome! This interactive explorer provides a visual guide to the **49 foundational processes** of project management, as structured in frameworks like the PMBOK® Guide – Sixth Edition.

Discover how each process aligns within the **5 core Process Groups** (Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring & Controlling, and Closing) and across the **10 key Knowledge Areas** (like Scope, Schedule, and Cost Management). The table below allows for easy navigation of this comprehensive framework.

Future updates will allow clicking on each process to view its detailed Inputs, Tools & Techniques, and Outputs (ITTOs).
