PMP Process framework is composed of Input, Tools and Techniques and Output.
A project management process takes a list of inputs and converts to specific output with use of tools and techniques. Every process of 49 different Processes is unique and performed to resolve a specific problem in the project. Please refer my earlier article on Processes, Knowledge area and Process groups.
Inputs : could be specific information or artifact, which may also be an output of some other process.
Tools and Techniques: are methods and practices to convert the inputs to outputs.
Outputs: could be documents, information, result or a product and this output of one process can be an input to other process.
Common Inputs: below are set of common inputs to each process, this will help us remember process inputs easily, this is been covered in previous article, influence on project management. Here, I am listing for the reference.
