Though some organizations choose to engage outside experts to lead the development of project plans, project team participation in PMP development is crucial for achieving the best results for understanding, focusing, and implementing the associated processes and activities. There is significant value in the planning process - preparing for unknowns, challenging assumptions, seeking input from various Stakeholder - and it is important that there is active participation by the sponsoring organization and the project team. The PMP and other documents created during the Planning Process Phase will explore all aspects of the project such as scope, duration, cost, quality, communications, resources, risks, procurement, and Stakeholder engagement. The project team documents those processes and activities in a comprehensive set of plans known as the Project Management Plan (PMP). Within the Planning Process Phase, the project team will begin creating project documents that will identify all of the processes and activities necessary to successfully deliver the project outcomes.
