Process management is the core part of operating system. It's duty is creation of process, it's scheduling, synchronization and ending of all processes.A process is set of instructions or a program that executes or become active then the processes gets ready and PID i.e process id is allocated to each process and further function are being done. It helps in proper use of CPU, and helps to maintain the work load. This review paper includes all the aspects of process management that includes states of processes, algorithms for scheduling their communication and handling of still or locked situations.
