Introduction
Professionals have an idea about the relevant aspects of project management to be a simple aspect of a Gantt chart or a simple schedule for the entire project. But today's business environment provides an effective scope for the PMP. The PMP has obtained its popularity because of the unique management concept which helps businesses not only achieve their business objectives but also ensure and economic development of the country in which the business is operating and has a linkage effect on the other sectors in the economy. The PMP provides a sequence for the finalization and achievement of the specific project objectives and goals through cohesive coordination and organization of the several components of the business.
Development of PMP
A PMP documents the cohesive approach that the company is going to undertake for the effective operation of the business. The making of the project management is initiated by the project manager who takes into account the inputs from the project team and the key stakeholders (Tam et al., 2020). 
The development of project management is attributed to the execution and monitoring of the various aspects of the business. This focuses on the development of a detailed document or a summary that includes the associated management plans and other planning documents that define the approach of the project team and the elements that need to be delivered from the intended project management. The measurement baseline according to the industry benchmarks is also considered for ensuring project management (Jöhnk, 2019). The scope of the project and the cost of the project are collectively referred to in terms of performance measurement baseline. Project managers have effectively focused on ensuring baselines in order to understand the subsequent benefits from these projects and derive the best-known outcomes for the business.
Importance of PMP
The contextual aspect of project management is the effectiveness of the project management in inherent project outcomes and the success of the project. It is effective to consider various stages of project management that are relevant and solve well throughout the lifespan of the project. It is effective to consider the essential aspects of the PMP and how it influences the effectiveness of the project for the long term and the sustained goals of the business (Takagi et al., 2020). 
A PMP is an initiation of the project that provides an idea about the time frame and budget of the project that will be created in accordance with the authorized project charter. It is also relevant to understand the specifications and the authorizations by the project owner which will help to compare the nominal progress of the project with that the expectation that has been documented (Alhashmi, 2020). It is also beneficial to understand the rapid access of the project and progress according to the plan as it is done in response to a certain situation. 
Another important essential aspect of the PMP is the alignment of the relevant features of the project with that of the project plan document. The project plan document clearly defined the expectations of the stakeholders and all the relevant variables that are easy to identify when the scope is defined for a particular project. In a more relevant scenario, it is effective to focus on the deliverables and identify the relevant aspects of the scope of the PMP. 
Every aspect can be persuaded what needs to be done and what commitment needs to be made in terms of the effectiveness of the project and the written contract of the project planning sheet. In a more obvious scenario, it is effective to consider that breaking down the project functions into various deliverables and digestible parts can make the entire project simpler which can be effective in terms of realizing the outcomes of the project. It is also contextual to understand that the goals or the task make it must simple to figure out the resources and what needs to be accomplished from a given set of resources and perceptions. The PMP also instils the aspects of confidence and helps to understand how the expertise of a project manager is advancing the effectiveness of the project to achieve the objectives of the business and the organization (Khalife et al., 2020).
Components of PMP
The components of the PMP include various baselines and subsidiary plans. This includes the following documents which are effective in terms of referring to the context of the PMP. More inherently it is effective to consider the following components of the PMP. 
· The baseline for the scope, schedule and cost.
· Management plans for the scope and cost along with the effective domains of human resources, Communications management, risk management and procure management. 
· The required management plan and the change management plan are also relevant components of the PMP. 
· Configuration management plan. 
· Process improvement plan.
Inputs of PMP
The inputs of the PMP include the concept of a project charter, enterprise environmental factors, scope of the project, risk management aspects of the entire project, communication aspects and the other forms of interconnectedness within the organization, the relevant prospects that are aligned with the feasibility and the scope of the project and the relevant aspects that determine the efficacy of the potential project. The inputs of the project are the relevant aspects that determine the contextual evidence about the project management system and the plan that helps for better project outcomes with the planning process.
Project Charter 
The Project Charter provides a detailed account of the project goals along with the Rules and responsibilities of the project stakeholders. This also provides the identification of the primary stakeholders and the level of authority of a project manager which determines the effectiveness of the project and the relevant prospects of the project management (Moran, 2020).
Planning Process 
The planning process includes the outputs along with the subsidiary plants which provides a detailed account of the various factors that are relevant for involvement in the formal management plan. This includes the scope management plan for a given project, the cost management plan of the project, the human resource management plan of the project, and the quality management (Moran, 2020).
Environmental Factors 
The environmental factors include the internal and external factors that are familiar aspect while developing the project charter and in most cases are the relevant actors which determines the effectiveness of the PMP.  The internal factors include the organization's structure, organization’s culture, working style of the organization and the policies that are determined by the cultural as well as administrative aspect of the organization, reviews, and training records of the organization also serves as the potential internal factors that determine the relevant aspect of the PMP (Alvarenga et al., 2020). The external factors include the aspects of government regulations, market conditions, and the economic situation of the global market as well as the domestic market in which the organization is operating, the political situation of the country in which it is operating along with the other Global political aspects that determines the effectiveness of the global economy and as well as the operation of the organization,
