Prosessiryhmissä

Prosessiryhmissä, often translated as "process groups" in English, refers to a structured approach to managing and executing projects, particularly within the context of project management methodologies. These groups are not necessarily permanent teams but rather collections of activities and tasks that occur in a logical sequence throughout the project lifecycle. The primary goal of process groups is to provide a framework for organizing and controlling project work.

There are typically five universally recognized process groups: initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing. The initiating process group focuses on defining a new project or a new phase of an existing project. The planning process group involves establishing the scope of the project, refining objectives, and defining the course of action required to attain the objectives. The executing process group is where the work defined in the project management plan is performed. The monitoring and controlling process group involves the regular assessment of project progress and performance, identifying any variances from the plan and taking corrective actions as needed. Finally, the closing process group signifies the formal completion of the project or phase.

Adopting process groups helps ensure that projects are managed systematically, reducing risks and improving the likelihood of successful completion. Each process group contains specific processes, tools, and techniques that guide project managers and teams in their respective stages of the project. This structured methodology promotes consistency, accountability, and effective communication among stakeholders.
