The Project Management Ontology (PMO) is defined as a layer over the Software Process Ontology, addressing aspects related to scope, time & duration, and cost estimation of intended processes, as well as aspects related to tracking planned versus performed processes.

Cost Estimated Activity A Project Activity with cost estimated.
Cost Estimated Process A Project Process with cost estimated.
Deliverable
Duration Estimated Activity A Project Process with duration estimated.
Duration Estimated Process A Project Process with duration estimated.
Estimated Activity A Project Activity with scope, cost, duration and time estimated.
Estimated Process A Project Process with cost, duration and time estimated.
Estimated Stakeholder Allocation
Practical Result
Project Manager Stakeholder responsible for managing a Project.
Project Plan Document describing the planning of a Project, to be used as the basis for project management.
Scope Estimated Activity A Project Activity with its scope in the project defined in terms of the work packages that it shall produce.
