what is Integration Management
Project managers make projects run well. they plan for what’s going to happen on the project. A big part of the job is watching closely to make sure the plan is followed, and when things go wrong they make sure they’re fixed. and sometimes the plan itself turns out to be inadequate! Project managers look for those kinds of problems, and fix them too. That day-to-day work is what the Integration Management processes are all about.
