    14. What is a Process? Definitions. According to PMI “a series of actions bring about a result” The set of activities required to achieve an output. (Project Management Handbook) A series of actions, changes, or functions bringing about a result A set of activities performed for a given purpose. (Software Acquisition Capability Maturity Model ) A set of partially ordered steps intended to reach a goal. In software engineering the goal is to build a software product or to enhance an existing one. In process engineering, the goal is to develop or enhance a process model. Process corresponds to a business use case in business engineering (Rational Unified Process )

    15. Five process groups Initiation – Do we have a project? Should resources be committed? Planning –How will we make the project work Execution – Putting the plan into action Control – Keeping the project on track Closing – bringing the project to an orderly close

    16. Characteristics of process groups Linked by results they produce Overlap through each phase of the project Cross phases closing process of one phase may provide input for process in later phase
