10.2.3.2 Project Management Plan updates
The project management plan provides information on project baselines, communications management, and
stakeholder management. Each of these areas may require updates based upon the current performance of the
project against the performance measurement baseline (PMB). The performance measurement baseline is an
approved plan for the project work to which the project execution is compared, and deviations are measured
for management control. The performance measurement baseline typically integrates scope, schedule, and cost
parameters of a project, but may also include technical and quality parameters.
10.2.3.3 Project documents updates
Project documents that may be updated include, but are not limited to:
• Issue log,
• Project schedule, and
• Project funding requirements.
10.2.3.4 organizational Process Assets updates
The organizational process assets, which may be updated include, but are not limited to:
• Stakeholder notifications. Information may be provided to stakeholders about resolved issues, approved
changes, and general project status.
• Project reports. Formal and informal project reports describe project status and include lessons learned,
issue logs, project closure reports, and outputs from other Knowledge Areas (Sections 4-13).
• Project presentations. The project team provides information formally or informally to any or all of the
project stakeholders. The information and presentation method should be relevant to the needs of the
audience.
• Project records. Project records may include correspondence, memos, meeting minutes, and other
documents describing the project. This information should, to the extent possible and appropriate,
be maintained in an organized manner. Project team members can also maintain records in a project
notebook or register, which could be physical or electronic.
