Errata

I think there is a missed process which needs a project charter as an input, the process is DEVELOP PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
Thank you

Note from the Author or Editor:
On page 44 in the bulleted list of processes that have the project charter as a key input, include an additional bullet point at the top of the list:

Develop Project Management Plan

I think there are missed processes which need a project management plan as an input, the process are:
1 - VALIDATE SCOPE
2 - CONTROL QUALITY

Thank you

Note from the Author or Editor:
Please add to the bulleted list on page 51:

Validate Scope [please insert between Plan Scope Management & Control Scope]
Control Quality [please insert between Plan Quality Management & Plan Human Resouce Management]

The calculation of LS of Activity G is wrong (it says 19, however it should be 18), so as to mess up E, C as calculating backward

Note from the Author or Editor:
Figure 4-17 on page 181 needs minor changes to numbers in some of the boxes.

In box G: The lower left number should be 18 not 19
In box E: The lower left number should be 15 not 16, the lower right number should be 17 not 18
In box C: The lower left number should be 9 not 10, the lower right number should be 14 not 15

There are two interrelated parts to this error:

1. On the table on page 313 under inputs there should be a bullet point added between 'Project management plan' & 'Enterprise environmental factors' - it should read 'Stakeholder register'

2. On page 314 there needs to be an additional explanatory paragraph inserted to explain this additional bullet point

"Stakeholder register
The stakeholder register is an essential input into the Plan Communications Management process. It will provide information about stakeholders and most likely an assessment of their power, interest, impact or influence on the project. This information can be used to assist in the development of a robust and appropriate communications management plan that is able to contribute the effective management of stakeholder engagement and expectations."

please insert stakeholder register as a key term here as well

There are two interrelated parts to this error:

1. On the table on page 324 under Outputs there should be a bullet point added between ?Change requests' & Project document updates? - it should read ?Project management plan updates?

2. On page 327 there needs to be an additional explanatory paragraph inserted after the ?Change Requests? paragraph and before the ?Project documents updates? paragraph to explain this additional bullet point

Project management plan updates
As a result of carrying out the Control Communications process there may be the need to update parts of the project management plan, specifically the communications management plan, stakeholder management plan and human resource management plan.

There are two interrelated parts to this error:

1. On the table on page 411 under tools and techniques there is the tool ?Negotiated settlements? - this should be changed to ?Procurement negotiations?

2. On page 412 the heading and paragraph for ?negotiated settlements needs to be changed as follows

'Procurement negotiations

Despite your best efforts at documenting and describing contractual processes that include a clear final resolution and closure process, it is not uncommon for all parties to a contract to have to enter into some form of procurement negotiations to terminate the contract fully. In this instance, procurement negotiations can result in negotiated settlements that place agreed obligations and agreements on both buyer and seller as to final payments, warranty obligations, and any other matters to enable the contract to be fully closed. If any disagreements arise as a result of misunderstandings or poorly worded contracts and negotiated settlements cannot be achieved through direct negotiation by all parties to a contract, there may have to be some form of escalation and external dispute resolution used, such as mediation, arbitration, or litigation.
Negotiation is where two or more parties attempt to agree on a solution between themselves. Mediation is when the disagreeing parties bring in an independent person to help them reach an agreement. Arbitration is when the parties agree to allow an independent person to hear both sides of the story and make a binding decision. Litigation is when the parties resolve their disputes through the civil courts system.'

There are two interrelated parts to this error:

1. On the table on page 441 under tools and techniques there is the tool ?Reporting systems? - this should be changed to ?Information management systems?

2. On page 442 the heading and paragraph for ?reporting systems? needs to be changed as follows:

'Information management systems

A stakeholder focused information management system is a subset of the project management information system that allows for the documentation, distribution, and storage of information for and about stakeholders. The types of information that the information management system captures will reflect the particular interests of the stakeholders and may include information about any aspect of the project that can be measured and communicated, including information about project scope, cost, time, quality, risk, or any other relevant factor deemed of interest by stakeholders.'

There are two interrelated parts to this error:

1. On the table on page 441 under Outputs there is a missing output that should be placed alongside a bullet point between ?Change requests? & ?Project documents updates? - this new bulleted output is ?Project management plan updates?

2. On page 443 there needs to be a new heading and paragraph inserted to explain this new bullet point. It should be inserted after the paragraph explaining ?Change requests? and before the paragraph explaining ?Project documents updates?.

?Project management plan updates
As a result of carrying out stakeholder management activities changes can be made to any other plan that forms part of the project management plan. This reflects the wide range of influences stakeholders have over the project.?
