The Project Management Plan has 16 component plans, fused together. It is not 16 separate plans, it is a single document. Once those separate documents are approved as the project plan, they become a single document. You may think of as chapters in the overall Project Management Plan. Most of its components are developed in other processes.

\n

It specifies the who, what, when, and how.

The Develop Project Management Plan is not developed all at once. This plan is progressively elaborated, meaning that it is developed, refined, revised and updated.
