Develop Project Management Plan is the process of defining, preparing, and coordinating all plan components and consolidating them into an integrated project management plan. Key benefit of this process is the production of a comprehensive document that defines the basis of all project work & how the work will be performed This process is carried out once or at predefined project points. The project management plan may either be a summary or a detailed strategy.
The project management plan should be baselined (Scope, time, and cost). so that the project execution can be measured and compared to those references and performance can be managed. The Project Management Plan can be updated as many times as necessary. There is no formal process needed at this time. However, once it is centered, it can only be changed via the Perform Integrated Change Control process

Develop Project Management Plan Inputs
1.Project Charter:
Project Team uses the project charter as a starting point for the initial project planning process.
The project charter should define the high-level information that will be elaborated.
2.Outputs from other processes:
Subsidiary plans and baselines that are output from other planning processes are inputs to this process
Changes to these documents may necessitate updates to the project management plan
3. Enterprise Environmental Factors
Government and environmental regulations
Industry standards
Labor conditions in the market
Organizational structure and management policies of the performing organization
Facilities in which the project will be performed
Existing company systems and software that the project will use
4. Organizational Process Assets
Standards, processes, procedures, and policies
Project files and lessons learned from previous projects
Templates for project plan and other project documents
Change control procedures
Historical information and lessons learned repository
Develop Project Management Plan Tools & Techniques
1.Expert Judgment
Individuals or groups with specialized knowledge of or training such as (Tailoring, develop additional components, determine resources and skill level, define Configuration Management, prioritize work on the project and ensure resources are appropriately allocated).
2.Data Gathering
Brain Storming: Attendees include the project team members although other subject matter experts (SMEs) or stakeholders may also participate
Checklists: May guide the project manager to develop the plan or may help to verify that all the required information is included in the project management plan
Focus Groups: bring together stakeholders to discuss the project management approach and the integration of the different components of the project management plan
Interviews: Interviews are used to obtain specific information from stakeholders to develop the project management plan or any component plan or project document
3.Interpersonal and Team Skills
Conflict Management: It may be necessary to bring diverse stakeholders into alignment on all aspects of the project management plan.
Facilitation: ensures effective participation, consideration of all ideas, mutual understanding among participants, buy-in from all participants, and follow-up on actions and agreements achieved.
Meeting Management: It is necessary to ensure that the numerous meetings that are necessary to develop, unify, and agree on the project management plan are well run.
Meetings: are used to discuss the project approach, determine how work will be executed to accomplish the project objectives and establish the way the project will be monitored and controlled. The project kick-off meeting is usually associated with the end of planning and the start of executing

Develop Project Management Plan Outputs
Project Management Plan
The Project Management Plan is an “integration” of baselines (such as scope, schedule, and cost) and subsidiary management plans (such as Scope Management Plan, Schedule Management Plan, Cost Management Plan, Risk Management Plan, etc.) from other planning processes. It may also include Change Management Plan, Configuration Management Plan, Performance Measurement Baseline, project life cycle chosen for the project, development approach (waterfall, agile, hybrid, etc.), and management review points.
