A management process is a process of setting goals, planning and/or controlling the organising and leading the execution of any type of activity,^[1] such as:

• A project (project management process),^[2] or
• A process (process management process, sometimes referred to as the process performance measurement and management system)^[3]

An organization's senior management is responsible for carrying out its management process. However, this is not always the case for all management processes, for example, sometimes it is the responsibility of the project manager to carry out a project management process.^[4]
