4.2.3Subject groups

4.2.3.1General

Each subject group consists of processes applicable to any project phase or project. These processes are defined in terms of purpose, description and primary inputs and outputs in 4.3 and are interdependent. Subject groups are independent of application area or industry focus.

Annex A provides a depiction of the interactions of the individual processes in each process group identified in 4.2.2 mapped against the subject groups. Not all process interactions are shown in the figures of Annex A. Any process may be repeated.

4.2.3.2Integration

The integration subject group includes the processes required to identify, define, combine, unify, coordinate, control and close the various activities and processes related to the project.
