    The key takeaways are that the document discusses process management in operating systems including process states, schedulers, and information stored in a PCB.

    An operating system manages many activities like user programs, printer spooler, name server and file server. It is responsible for process management.

    A process can be in states like NEW, READY, WAITING, RUNNING or FINISHED. It transitions between these states via events like interrupts, I/O completion or being dispatched by the scheduler.
