Clearly defines the plan of the project before it begins: The importance of planning in project management cannot be ignored. The more complex project, the more scope there is for chaos. One of project management's primary functions is to tame the chaos by mapping out a clear plan of the project from beginning to end.

Project Identification is a repeatable process for documenting, validating, ranking and approving candidate projects within an organization.Due to the changing financial conditions within the total organization, it is necessary to establish a stable process for approving projects for initiation. This process will validate the business reason for each candidate project.

Helps to manage change: Today, more than ever, change is something which all organisations face. Projects, during their running, also face changes and must be prepared to face such deviations from the original plan. Project management allows for effective change management and makes it less of a complex task.

Managing a project more often than not requires a team of people with skills and abilities that complement each other and help to work towards reaching the goal of the project. The team, along with its project manager are responsible for planning, organising and monitoring project progress. Any project management professional will tell you that every project follows a project life cycle and certain project management steps that bring it from start to finish. Projects are a lot more than simply preparing resources and materials and require a deeper element of management.
Update Business Case: When additional information is received on a Candidate Project, obtain the pending Business Case from the repository and revise the data. This Business Case should now be reconsidered by process 1.2.
