Project Integration Management

As we know that to manage a project we need to do many different things, many times simultaneously. For example you have to communicate to all stakeholders and need to manage the scope at the same time. Have an eye on cost and time and see if some procurements need to be done. Human resource management keeps on happening and at the same time no untoward risk should be left unmanaged. To do all these things at the same time, we need a glue which holds everything together and that's where Project Integration management comes into picture.
