Project Process Guide
Project Process Guides
Seven process guides covering the whole project lifecycle — what triggers each stage, what has to happen in it, and what must be true before you move on.
Most teams know roughly what to do and disagree about when. These guides settle it: each process has its entry conditions, its activity checklist, its control points and its exit criteria, so nobody starts a stage that isn't ready or closes one that isn't finished.
The seven processes
- Starting Up a Project
- Directing a Project
- Initiating a Project
- Controlling a Stage
- Managing Product Delivery
- Managing a Stage Boundary
- Closing a Project
Plus tailoring guidance and process ownership — how to scale it to the size of the job.
What's inside each guide
- Entry conditions and triggers — what must exist before the process starts
- Key activities as a tick-list, in the order they happen
- Control points, so governance is built in rather than bolted on
- Outputs produced, and the exit criteria for moving on
- 27 structured tables in total
Who it's for
Project managers setting up a repeatable way of working, PMOs writing their own method, and anyone whose client or auditor has asked how the project is actually controlled.
