Cortez Plastics was having growing pains. As the business base of the company began to increase, more and more paperwork began to flow through the organization. The informal project management culture that had worked so well in the past was beginning to deteriorate and was being replaced by a more formal project management approach. Recognizing the cost implications of a more formal project management approach, senior management at Cortez Plastics decided to take some action.
Scenario:
You are the project manager and you have been hired to move this process forward. Research and analyze and recommend a strategic plan for using an integrated project approach to managing this project. Discuss how project integration can help the project (and the organization) effectively manage this project. Be sure to show how the 5 process groups and 10 knowledge areas integrate.
