Enterprise Environmental Factors are conditions not under the immediate control of the team that influence, constrain, or direct the project—such as organizational culture, structure, governance, geographic distribution, marketplace conditions, legal restrictions, and infrastructure. Organizational Process Assets are internal artifacts and knowledge bases that the organization controls and that teams can tailor—policies, procedures, templates, guidelines, and repositories (e.g., lessons learned, historical estimates). Thus, culture and structure (Option C) are classic EEFs. Lessons-learned repositories (Option A), templates (Option B), and estimating databases (Option D) are OPAs. CAPM fundamentals require recognizing the difference because OPAs are proactively leveraged to improve planning and execution (e.g., using standard checklists), while EEFs must be navigated or tailored to (e.g., aligning with matrix authority, complying with regulatory constraints). Correct classification informs tailoring decisions, risk identification, and stakeholder strategies. For instance, a highly regulated industry (EEF) shapes compliance activities, while robust templates (OPA) accelerate consistent planning and reduce omissions.
