Introduction
Projects are used today as a way of achieving a variety of outcomes- in local or international locations for new constructions, new product development product improvement, process design, process improvement, utility installation, theory and technology development, and many more. Bringing a project to a successful conclusion requires the integration of numerous management functions like controlling, directing, team building, communication and others. It also requires cost and schedule management, technical and risk management, conflict and stakeholder's management, life cycle management. "The primary purpose of the PMBOK® Guide is to identify that subset of the Project Management Body of Knowledge that is generally recognized as good practice and means that the knowledge and practices described are applicable to most
Projects most of the time, and that there is widespread consensus about their value
and usefulness." (PMBOK Guide Structure)

PMBOK describes nine knowledge areas that the project manager must address:
? Integration management
? Scope management
? Time management
? Cost management
? Quality management
? Human resource management
? Communications management
? Risk management
? Procurement management

Project- Managing Trade show

This project will be based on a task that has been assigned to me by a client, where I have been given the task not only to showcase the product but to manage the event of trade show for the organization in most effective and efficient manner. Our plan defines the tasks that must be done by the project team over the length of the project. It includes a breakdown of tasks, dependencies, task budgets, task start and finish dates, task durations, and resource assignments. All of these components will allow benchmarking the project's progress against the time and resources I have allocated to the project which helps keep it closely within budget and on time.

Integration Management
PMBOK will be utilized for the upcoming project of managing the trade show. After all, the company is organizing a trade show so these processes would aid in all aspects of the project.
? Initiating - Contact must be made with the prospected trade show, to inquire and express interest regarding the participation of LRH. From this point, determination must be made on all parties involved in the process and a contract is will be signed.
? Planning - Once we have initiated the project with the signing of a contract the in-depth planning process begins. This will involve various aspects including determining on how to restock the collaterals, what needs to be done to update the display, what will be used as giveaways, how the trade show materials will be transported and determination on travel arrangements for parties involved.
? Executing - Once our plans are in place as to how we are going to address the aforementioned concerns, we must take action on these plans. This will include effective delegation and determination that all parties are aware of their responsibilities.
? Controlling - This process is often concurrent with executing and works to make sure that plans are being executed correctly. However, to do this effectively communication amongst various work teams or segments will be imperative. Additionally, it is also essential that we adhere to our budget constraints.
? Closing - Our portion of the project is over or complete once the trade show ends and all information is gathered to determine the trade show's success.
It encompasses all the deliverables the project manager creates: scope definition, project schedule, team roster, budget, communication plan, quality management plan, and change control mechanisms. It is a document that is created at the start of the project and maintained by the project manager throughout the project's lifecycle. It is important because it defines the strategy, or direction, that the project manager will follow to successfully deliver the project. It is a critical communication device to the sponsor, customers, and team members. The project plan also serves as a record of leanings for future projects. There are many advantages to project management with a project plan:
? It helps the project team stay on task and meet deadlines.
? It provides a common frame of reference, foundation, and documentation for stakeholders, the team, and management.
? It helps ensure that all project areas that need addressing are covered.
It provides consistency, professionalism, and agreed upon expectations
