Explanation

With a fixed budget, deadline, and defined deliverables already established, the project manager must next determine what resources, materials, and services need to be procured externally to fulfill those deliverables within the given constraints. Procurement planning is a foundational step that informs how the budget will be spent and what external dependencies exist. A kick-off meeting comes after sufficient planning is in place. Creating the risk register and analyzing constraint flexibility are important but follow after understanding what the project actually needs to procure and execute.
