What is the Definition of Definition?
Executing processes are essential for delivering the actual work, outputs and deliverables of a project. Project execution is the most important phase of a project. This is where project deliverables are created and delivered to the customer.
What is the purpose?
The purpose of the Executing Process Group is to execute the work defined in the Project Management plan and meet project objectives. The planning process determines what to do, when to do it, how many activities will be performed, which tools and equipment will be used, and the budget that will cover the project. These plans are then executed during the project execution. You will be able complete the project in the closing phase if you have successfully planned it.

Meetings are essential. Meetings can be held in different formats and can provide different levels of information during project execution. Meetings with the project team will include detailed discussions about project activities and specific problems. Meetings with senior management will provide high-level information on project progress, including whether it is on schedule, on budget, and if there are any high-level risk areas in the near future.
