The project management processes are linked by specific inputs and outputs where the result or outcomeof one process may become the input to anotherprocess that is not necessarily in the same Process Group.

Project management processes may contain overlapping activities that occur throughout the project.

Project management processes are grouped into five. Categories known as Project Management
Process groups (or Process Groups):

Project life cycles can be predictive or adaptive. Within a project life cycle, there are generally one or more phases that are associated with the development of the product, service, or result. These are called a development life cycle. Development life cycles can be predictive, iterative, incremental, adaptive, or a hybrid model.
The explanation here is only provided for predictive, iterative, and adaptive life cycles. Refer to Section 1.2.4.1 for the other development life cycles.
In a predictive life cycle, the project scope, time, and cost are determined in the early phases of the life cycle. Any changes to the scope are carefully managed. Predictive life cycles may also be referred to as waterfall life cycles.

Project Life Cycle
A project life cycle is the series of phases that a project passes through from its start to its completion. It provides the basic framework for managing the project. This basic- framework applies regardless of the specific project work involved. The phases may be sequential, iterative, or overlapping.

Project Management Body of Knowledge
The standard (PMBOK® Guide) identifies the processes that are considered good practices on most projects, most of the time. The standard also identifies the inputs and outputs that are usually associated with those processes.

Portfolio management aligns components (projects, programs, or operations) to the organizational strategy, organized into portfolios or subsidiary portfolios to optimize project or program objectives, dependencies, costs, timelines, benefits, resources, and risks.
This allows organizations to have an overall view of how the strategic goals are reflected in the portfolio, institute appropriate governance management, and authorize human, financial, or material resources to be allocated based on
expected performance and benefits.

Arguably, all responses are suitable during project planning. However, the three most important
questions for defining project success are:
The answer on communication requirements is an important consideration, but it occurs at a more detailed planning level for creating a project communications plan, which leads to project success.

Portfolio Management
Portfolio management refers to the centralized management of one or more portfolios to achieve strategic objectives. Portfolio management focuses on ensuring that projects and programs are reviewed in prioritize resource allocation and that the management of the portfolio is consistent with and aligned to organizational strategies.
PMBOK® Guide.page 10, Section 1.2.2
What is project management?
Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements .
At each point, deliverables and knowledge are transferred between the project and operations for implementation of the delivered work. This implementation occurs through a transfer of project resources to operations toward the end of the project, or through a transfer of operational resources to the project at the start.
Operations are ongoing endeavors that produce repetitive outputs, with resources assigned to do basically the same set of tasks according to the standards institutionalized in a product life cycle.
Unlike the ongoing nature of operations, projects are temporary endeavors .
PMBOK® Guide, page 4, Section 1.2.1

A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result.
