These ten knowledge areas segment different actions completed by the project manager throughout the project. The ten project management knowledge areas are:.

The project scope is protected from unauthorized changes, edited with approved changes, and validated by the project for project acceptance. Project schedule management: the project schedule is defined first by the working hours of the project, any project, and ultimately a project deadline. The project team’s availability throughout the project is documented and planned accordingly. The project manager will work with the project team to identify the project tasks and task duration estimates in order to create a project timeline.
