What is the first process in Project Integration Management?

  1. Develop Project Charter

  2. Develop Project Management Plan

  3. Direct and Manage Project Work

  4. Close Project or Phase

The correct answer is: Develop Project Charter

The first process in Project Integration Management is to Develop Project Charter. This process involves formally authorizing a project or a phase and giving the project manager the authority to apply organizational resources to project activities. It is essential to start with developing a project charter as it establishes a partnership between the performing organization and the project team, providing a clear understanding of the project objectives and high-level requirements. In contrast: - Option B, Develop Project Management Plan, occurs after the project charter is developed. It involves defining, preparing, and coordinating all subsidiary plans and integrating them into a comprehensive project management plan. - Option C, Direct and Manage Project Work, is part of Project Integration Management, but it happens after the project charter is created and the project management plan is developed. - Option D, Close Project or Phase, is the final process in Project Integration Management and involves finalizing all activities across all Project Management Process Groups to formally complete the project or phase.
