Summary

You have covered the entire knowledge area of integration management, with the exception of "develop the project charter," which we covered early on. Integration ties everything together and allows us a coordinated way of initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing out the project. This is done through the creation of a project charter at initiation, the creation of an integrated project management plan during planning, deliverable creation when directing and managing project work, managing all project knowledge in execution, monitoring and controlling project work and integrated change control in monitoring and controlling, and the final closure of the project and/or phase.

In the next chapter, you will review the next steps and study tips! Woohoo! You made it!! :-)
