Let us learn about Organization Process Assets and Enterprise Environment Factors which are two major inputs in Tools and techniques 

Organization Process Assets :- Asset means things which we are going to use owned by the organization. OPA comes in two categories, First Category can be classified into things like policy, procedures , guidelines , lesson learned etc, things we can use in our project may be organization may have a Work Breakdown Structure Template or Project Charter template , that would be considered as on Organizational process asset (OPA)

Second Category can be classified as historical Information and i call this as repository of goodness. It has knowledge base because it has archives of all past project files, lesson's learned etc

Logically all of the historical data.

What we see in project management is historical information is incredibly valuable, We look into the past to predict the future. That is the reason OPA is a very very common input.

Enterprise Environmental Factors :- The important word in EEF is factors, Factors are things we consider  that would influence our project.

For example : Corporate Culture, Work Environment , Availability of capital resources, Market Demand, Financial Considerations etc

Simply saying "Assets" are things we use and "Factors" are things we consider
