importance of appropriately engaging project
stakeholders in key decisions and activities.
n Project data information and information flow
have been redefined to bring greater consistency
and be more aligned with the data, information,
knowledge and wisdom model used in the field
of knowledge management.

ment, plan cost management and plan stake-
holder management. These were created to
