PMP Certification Training - Project Management Process Groups

The video tutorial explains the five major process groups in project management: initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing. It clarifies that these groups are not project phases. Initiating processes define new projects or phases, while planning processes establish scope and objectives. Executing processes complete the work to meet project requirements. Monitoring and controlling processes track and regulate progress, and closing processes finalize and close projects. Initiating and closing occur once, while planning, executing, and monitoring and controlling repeat throughout the project.
