4.3.1 direct and Manage Project Work: Inputs

4.3.1.1 Project Management Plan

Described in Section 4.2.3.1. The project management plan contains subsidiary plans concerning all aspects of
the project. Those subsidiary plans related to project work include, but are not limited to:
• Scope management plan (Section 5.1.3.1),

• Requirements management plan (Section 5.1.3.2),
• Schedule management plan (Section 6.1.3.1),

• Cost management plan (Section 7.1.3.1), and
• Stakeholder management plan (Section 13.2.3.1).

4.3.1.2 Approved change requests

Approved change requests are an output of the Perform Integrated Change Control process, and include those
requests reviewed and approved for implementation by the change control board (CCB). The approved change
request may be a corrective action, a preventative action, or a defect repair. Approved change requests are
scheduled and implemented by the project team, and can impact any area of the project or project management
plan. The approved change requests can also modify the policies, project management plan, procedures, costs,
or budgets or revise the schedules. Approved change requests may require implementation of preventive or
corrective actions.

4.3.1.3 Enterprise Environmental Factors

Described in Section 2.1.5. The Direct and Manage Project Work process is influenced by enterprise
environmental factors that include, but are not limited to:
• Organizational, company, or customer culture and structure of the performing or sponsor organizations;

• Infrastructure (e.g., existing facilities and capital equipment);
• Personnel administration (e.g., hiring and firing guidelines, employee performance reviews, and training
records);
• Stakeholder risk tolerances, for example allowable cost overrun percentage; and

• Project management information system (e.g., an automated tool suite, such as a scheduling software
tool, a configuration management system, an information collection and distribution system, or web
interfaces to other online automated systems).
