The continuous representation does not overtly suggest a sequence to use for
process improvement; however, a sequence is implied. In the list of Project Management
Processes, it would be ludicrous for an organization to attempt to institute
Quantitative Project Management before successfully achieving the goals of the
Project Planning process area (as Quantitative Project Management is more sophisticated
and more complex than Project Planning). If you review the order of the
process areas in the list, you will surmise that the less sophisticated process areas are
listed first, with the more sophisticated process areas following. For example, before
you can focus on Project Monitoring and Control, Project Planning should be in
place. It seems that the continuous representation is saying that Project Planning
should be attempted first, followed much later by Risk Management because Risk
Management is more sophisticated (and probably more complicated to institute)
than Project Planning. Also, without the basis of Project Planning, Risk Management
could not be performed effectively.
