Answer: C

Explanation:
The project management processes are presented as discrete elements with welldefined interfaces. However,
in practice they overlap and interact in ways that are not completely detailed here. Most experienced project
management practitioners recognize there is more than one way to manage a project. The specifics for a
project are defined as objectives that must be accomplished based on complexity, risk, size, time frame,
project team’s experience, access to resources, amount of historical information, the organization’s project
management maturity, and industry and application area. The required Process Groups and their constituent
processes are guides to apply appropriate project management knowledge and skills during the project. In
addition, the application of the project management processes to a project is iterative and many processes are
repeated and revised during the project. The project manager and the project team are responsible for
determining what processes from the Process Groups will be employed, by whom, and the degree of rigor that
will be applied to the execution of those processes to achieve the desired project objective.
