What is the flow of Process in PMP?

Project Management consists of the following five process groups:
1. Initiation
2. Planning
3. Executing
4. Monitoring and Controlling
5. Closing

Its important to know and understand the flow of these process flow. Each process group consists of one or more knowledge areas and every process in the knowledge area receives one or more inputs. Similarly one or more tools and techniques are applied on these inputs during this process and results in the generation of one or more outputs.

Normally, a process receives the inputs from its preceding process and generates outputs which in turn will be fed to successor process as inputs.
