==Project Quality Management==
===Plan Quality Management: Data Analysis<ref name="PMBOK 6th Edition - Chapter 8">https://app-knovel-com.proxy.findit.dtu.dk/web/view/khtml/show.v/rcid:kpGPMBKP02/cid:kt011DXC52/viewerType:khtml//root_slug:8-project-quality-management/url_slug:project-quality-management?kpromoter=federation&b-toc-cid=kpGPMBKP02&b-toc-root-slug=&b-toc-url-slug=project-quality-management&b-toc-title=Guide%20to%20the%20Project%20Management%20Body%20of%20Knowledge%20(PMBOK®%20Guide)%20(6th%20Edition)&page=1&view=collapsed&zoom=1</ref>===

Data Analysis is one of the tools used for Plan Quality management. There are two major techniques used for Data Analysis, which are cost-benefit Analysis and cost of quality.

Cost-benefit Analysis is used for analysis of alternatives, and help determine the most beneficial alternative. This is done by estimating the strengths and weaknesses of the alternatives

Cost of quality can help the company keep high quality and thereby lead to savings. Cost of quality consist of three costs.

Prevention costs are costs used to prevent poor quality. Appraisal costs are costs for appraisal, such as evaluating and testing products, deliverables or services. Failure Costs are costs linked to failure in products, deliverables or services.

===Manage Quality: Data Representation<ref name="PMBOK 6th Edition - Chapter 8">https://app-knovel-com.proxy.findit.dtu.dk/web/view/khtml/show.v/rcid:kpGPMBKP02/cid:kt011DXC52/viewerType:khtml//root_slug:8-project-quality-management/url_slug:project-quality-management?kpromoter=federation&b-toc-cid=kpGPMBKP02&b-toc-root-slug=&b-toc-url-slug=project-quality-management&b-toc-title=Guide%20to%20the%20Project%20Management%20Body%20of%20Knowledge%20(PMBOK®%20Guide)%20(6th%20Edition)&page=1&view=collapsed&zoom=1</ref>===

Data Representation is used to show data of an organization. They can among others, show issues and defect in certain areas, which needs more attention. Data Representation is mostly illustrated as a diagram or chart.
Types of data representation includes affinity diagram, cause-and-effect diagram, flow chart and histogram.

For instance, can flow charts illustrate the steps in a process, that lead to a defect or failure.

The following image illustrates a cause-and-effect diagram, which is also known as a fishbone diagram. The diagram shows main subjects as the causes, and what elements the subjects contain. At the far right of the diagram, is the effect shown.

==Schedule Management==
===Estimation of Activity Durations: Three-Point Estimating<ref name="PMBOK 6th Edition">https://app-knovel-com.proxy.findit.dtu.dk/web/view/khtml/show.v/rcid:kpGPMBKP02/cid:kt011DX7BB/viewerType:khtml//root_slug:6-project-schedule-management/url_slug:project-schedule-management?kpromoter=federation&b-toc-cid=kpGPMBKP02&b-toc-root-slug=&b-toc-url-slug=project-schedule-management&b-toc-title=Guide%20to%20the%20Project%20Management%20Body%20of%20Knowledge%20(PMBOK%C2%AE%20Guide)%20(6th%20Edition)&page=1&view=collapsed&zoom=1</ref>===

Three-point estimating is a tool used to estimate the duration of an activity. It is used primarily when there is insufficient historical data available to produce an estimate. The tool considers a most likely time (tM), optimistic time (tO) and pessimistic time (tP) to produce the best estimate via the following equation:

tE = (tM + tO + tP)/3

Using this triangular distribution estimation uncertainty and risk can be reduced with respect to single-point estimating. Total project duration may then be estimated by finding the summation of individual activity durations through an integrated activity execution flow chart (e.g. Gantt chart).

===Development of a Schedule: Critical Path Method<ref name="PMBOK 6th Edition">https://app-knovel-com.proxy.findit.dtu.dk/web/view/khtml/show.v/rcid:kpGPMBKP02/cid:kt011DX7BB/viewerType:khtml//root_slug:6-project-schedule-management/url_slug:project-schedule-management?kpromoter=federation&b-toc-cid=kpGPMBKP02&b-toc-root-slug=&b-toc-url-slug=project-schedule-management&b-toc-title=Guide%20to%20the%20Project%20Management%20Body%20of%20Knowledge%20(PMBOK%C2%AE%20Guide)%20(6th%20Edition)&page=1&view=collapsed&zoom=1</ref>===

The critical path method is used to produce to calculate the minimum project duration and the amount of schedule flexibility available on the logical network paths within the schedule model. The analysis calculates the early and late start and finish dates of each activity using activity duration estimates. Using the scheduled activity network, the longest activity path (namely 'critical path') is then computed (see path 'ACD' Figure 3). This is used as the project duration estimate. The 'float' of activities not on the critical path is determined, defined as the maximum duration the activity can be delayed by without delaying the project as a whole. This is used to determine the schedule flexibility within the schedule model.

==Cost Management==

===Estimation of Cost: Bottom-Up Estimating<ref name="PMBOK 6th Edition">https://app-knovel-com.proxy.findit.dtu.dk/web/view/khtml/show.v/rcid:kpGPMBKP02/cid:kt011DX7BB/viewerType:khtml//root_slug:6-project-schedule-management/url_slug:project-schedule-management?kpromoter=federation&b-toc-cid=kpGPMBKP02&b-toc-root-slug=&b-toc-url-slug=project-schedule-management&b-toc-title=Guide%20to%20the%20Project%20Management%20Body%20of%20Knowledge%20(PMBOK%C2%AE%20Guide)%20(6th%20Edition)&page=1&view=collapsed&zoom=1</ref>===

A method used putting the activity of a project into more details. As the name indicates it goes from the bottom and upwards, meaning that the expected costs are accounted for at the highest level of detail. There are pros and cons of using this method.

==Communications Management==

===Manage Communications Management: Communication Management Plan<ref name="PMBOK 6th Edition - Chapter 10">https://app-knovel-com.proxy.findit.dtu.dk/web/view/khtml/show.v/rcid:kpGPMBKP02/cid:kt011DXH02/viewerType:khtml//root_slug:10-project-communications-management/url_slug:project-communications?kpromoter=federation&b-toc-cid=kpGPMBKP02&b-toc-root-slug=&b-toc-url-slug=project-communications&b-toc-title=Guide%20to%20the%20Project%20Management%20Body%20of%20Knowledge%20(PMBOK%C2%AE%20Guide)%20(6th%20Edition)&page=4&view=collapsed&zoom=1</ref>===

This document is a part of the project management plan. It is used to describe the structure, planning, implementation and monitoring of the communication throughout the project. It contains i.e. desired stakeholder communication requirements, the used language and formats, responsibilities among the involved and other constraints related to the communication throughout the project.

Certain templates, guidelines and even computer softwares may also be included in the communication plan, in order to achieve the needed Level of Detail (LoD) for a given task.

The Communications Management plan should be updated accordingly to the Project Management plan through a organizational change request.

===Plan Communications Management: Communication Technology<ref name="PMBOK 6th Edition - Chapter 10">https://app-knovel-com.proxy.findit.dtu.dk/web/view/khtml/show.v/rcid:kpGPMBKP02/cid:kt011DXH02/viewerType:khtml//root_slug:10-project-communications-management/url_slug:project-communications?kpromoter=federation&b-toc-cid=kpGPMBKP02&b-toc-root-slug=&b-toc-url-slug=project-communications&b-toc-title=Guide%20to%20the%20Project%20Management%20Body%20of%20Knowledge%20(PMBOK%C2%AE%20Guide)%20(6th%20Edition)&page=1&view=collapsed&zoom=1</ref>===

Communication Technology is a tool used to properly plan the method of sharing information among stakeholders.

Different platforms may be used to accomplish this, such as conversations, minutes of meetings (MOM), written documents and social media. Some factors should be considered in order to define the best communication method for a specific topic:

*Urgency, frequency and format
*Compatibility, availability and easy to access among all stakeholders
*Project enviroment (Face-to-face or virtual based)
*The sensitivity and confidentiality of the information

Furthermore, the communication channels may vary within each project phase.

===Communications Management: Communication through the barriers of Cultural and Political Differences<ref name="6. Culture and Project Management">https://opentextbc.ca/projectmanagement/chapter/chapter-6-culture-and-project-management-project-management/</ref>===

In a globalizing world, cultures and political views are coming together more and more diverse project teams. Cultural and Political Intelligence are fundamental characteristics of modern project managers. To allow new and diverse teams to coexist, measures should be taken to ease the start of high intensity, tight deadline projects. Some measures could be “intervention”; where someone from the culture of the new individual acts as a guide in the new environment, as they too have had to overcome the shock of the new perspectives and backgrounds. Another can, in the case of teams with team members from high-context cultures, be pre-start project meeting to get them to get to know one another and be comfortable around each other. Furthermore, promoting out of work interactions is important so that professional knowledge and personal stories can be told, and they can observe each other’s views and ideas, and can lead to safer climate, trust and increase the effectiveness of the team. Project managers need to sensitive and aware of the divers cultural and political preferences displayed by people. Such areas include:

*Individual identity and role within the project versus family of origin and community
*Verbal and emotional expressiveness
*Relationship expectations
*Style of communication
*Language
*Personal priorities, values, and beliefs
*Time orientation

Having a good understanding of these differences will create a greater dynamic and level of trust within the team early on, to allow a good, productive start to the project.

===Communications Management: Conflict Management<ref name="PMBOK 6th Edition - Chapter 10">https://app-knovel-com.proxy.findit.dtu.dk/web/view/khtml/show.v/rcid:kpGPMBKP02/cid:kt011DXH02/viewerType:khtml//root_slug:10-project-communications-management/url_slug:project-communications?kpromoter=federation&b-toc-cid=kpGPMBKP02&b-toc-root-slug=&b-toc-url-slug=project-communications&b-toc-title=Guide%20to%20the%20Project%20Management%20Body%20of%20Knowledge%20(PMBOK%C2%AE%20Guide)%20(6th%20Edition)&page=1&view=collapsed&zoom=1</ref>===

Conflicts will always occur in project work; sourcing from differing priorities, lack of understanding, and differences of persons working in the project. Managers must be able to discretely handle these conflicts as to not exacerbate the intensity of the conflict and come to a satisfactory solution for all the parties involved. Letting both sides of a conflict explain their reasoning and queries will enable each side to at least feel that they’ve been heard, even if the solution is not what they may have wanted.

The approach managers should take in conflict management depend greatly on factors involved; these include:

*Stakes involved
*Stakeholders
*Demanded outcomes
*Timescale

There are many techniques for resolving conflicts. These include:

*Withdraw/avoid
*Smooth/accommodate
*Compromise/reconcile
*Force/direct
*Collaborate/problem solve

===Monitor Communications Management: Outputs - Work Performance Information<ref name="PMBOK 6th Edition - Chapter 10">https://app-knovel-com.proxy.findit.dtu.dk/web/view/khtml/show.v/rcid:kpGPMBKP02/cid:kt011DXH02/viewerType:khtml//root_slug:10-project-communications-management/url_slug:project-communications?kpromoter=federation&b-toc-cid=kpGPMBKP02&b-toc-root-slug=&b-toc-url-slug=project-communications&b-toc-title=Guide%20to%20the%20Project%20Management%20Body%20of%20Knowledge%20(PMBOK%C2%AE%20Guide)%20(6th%20Edition)&page=4&view=collapsed&zoom=1</ref>===

The idea of work performance information is to investigate how the project communication is performing compared to how it is was planned to perform. The tool includes the following two aspects:

*Monitor work performance reports
Work performance reports include status and progress reports during a project. They aid in informing and generating awareness, actions or decisions within the project. The information is circulated across the project stakeholders according to the communications processes outlined in the project's communications management plan. These actual communications can be monitored and compared to the planned communications to see which areas of the communications management plan can be improved or how well the parties involved within the project are executing their work performance information.

*Feedback on communications
Survey information on communications and its effectiveness is collected and evaluated to highlight where improvements can be made.

==Stakeholder Management==
===Stakeholder Engagement Assessment Matrix<ref name="PMBOK 6th Edition - Chapter 13">https://app-knovel-com.proxy.findit.dtu.dk/web/view/khtml/show.v/rcid:kpGPMBKP02/cid:kt011DXOQE/viewerType:khtml//root_slug:13-project-stakeholder-management/url_slug:project-stakeholder-management?kpromoter=federation&b-toc-cid=kpGPMBKP02&b-toc-root-slug=&b-toc-url-slug=project-stakeholder-management&b-toc-title=Guide%20to%20the%20Project%20Management%20Body%20of%20Knowledge%20(PMBOK%C2%AE%20Guide)%20(6th%20Edition)&page=20&view=collapsed&zoom=1</ref>===

This tool supports comparison between the current engagement levels and desired engagement levels of the stakeholders in your project. The engagement levels can be classified as Unaware, Resistant, Neutral, Supportive, and Leading. Then, from these categories, the stakeholders can be split into current (C) and desired (D) levels of engagement.
