Managing projects requires applying knowledge, skills, and tools and techniques to project activities in order to meet the project objectives. You do this by performing some processes at various stages of the project, as discussed in the previous chapter. That means processes are part of the knowledge required to manage projects. Each aspect of a project is managed by using the corresponding knowledge area. For example, each project has a scope that needs to be managed, and the knowledge required to manage scope is in the knowledge area called project scope management. To perform the project work within the project scope, you need human resources, which need to be managed; the knowledge used to manage human resources is called human resource management.
I guess, by now you have a fair idea of where we are getting to.
Each process belongs to one of the nine knowledge areas:
1. Scope Management
2. Time Management
3. Cost Management
4. Human Resource Management
5. Procurement Management
6. Risk Management
7. Quality Management
8. Integration Management &
9. Communication Management
Each knowledge area has its own place in the project lifecycle and they are all equally important from a project managers point of view. In practical experience you might fine one or more areas to have a greater impact on the outcome of the project, but nonetheless they are all important and play a vital role in the success or failure of a project.

What stage project manager appointed?
In most cases a project manager is assigned at the stage when the project charter is being prepared for a project. It would be nice to have the project manager involve in the project from the early going itself so that he/she can have a great understanding of the project. The project charter provides the project manager with the authority to use organizational resources to run the project. Remember that formally speaking, project charters are prepared external to project management by an individual or a committee in the organization. In other words, the actual project management starts from where the project charter ends. But practically speaking, the project manager who is going to manage this project might actually be involved in writing the project charter. The project approval and funding will still be external to the project management boundaries.
