What are the Five Project Management Process Groups?

The project management processes are connected by specific inputs and outputs where the outcome or result of one process may turn into the contribution to another process that isn't really in a similar Process Group. There are 5 process groups as defined in PMBOK sixth editions which can be listed as below: 

1.Initiating 

Initiating process group is used to define a new project or a new phase of an existing project and authorize it to start.

2. Planning

Planning process group is used to establish the scope, refine objectives, and define a course of action to attain the objectives defined by the project team members.

3. Executing

Executing process group is used to complete the work defined in the project management plan by coordinating people and resources.

4. Monitoring and controlling

Monitoring & controlling process group is used to track, review and regulate project progress and performance, identify variances and corrective actions, and initiate corresponding changes as required.

5. Closing

Closing process group is used to formalize acceptance of the project results and bringing an orderly close to project, phase or contract.
