OPA vs Project Documents

Submitted by elthox on Thu, 07/18/2013 - 06:57

 Hi,

 

There are some processes whose outputs include both OPA updates and Project Document updates.

Could anyone explain substantially thereason of having both outputs at the same time?

What does Project documents includes in that OPA doesnt have it?

 

Regards

OPA constitutes organziation policies, standards, procedures, methods

Project documents constitutes Requirement documents, Requirement Traceability documentation, Project logs (issues / assumptions), Risk Register, Stakeholder register, Forecasts, Performance reports, Issue log, etc.

There is an overlap with Project Documents for sure. Per PMBOK, OPA also includes historical data, lessons learned, completed schedules, risk data and earned value data.
