PMI PMP Project Management

Answer: b - Direction is managed during the working meetings of the Execution Group.

Project changes and the monitoring of those changes are managed during the working sessions of the Monitoring and Control Group.

The Planning Working Group is primarily concerned with the development of the overall project plan, and any loose ends are formally tied up in the working sessions of the Closing Group.

Most project teams do not have leadership working groups. While leadership is important, this is typically an organizational function, not a project one.

Key Take Away: It’s imperative that Project Managers recognize the need for each Working Group and the important roles they can play, not just in the planning and executing of the project, but in the control and closing of a project.
