Project Management Laminated Workflows

Project Management — 12 Laminated Workflow Charts — 11” x 17” in color. Single purchase or multiple purchase - One of 12 workflows is shown above (From Version 3 - Illustration Only). All Workflows have been updated since PMBOK®, Version 4, and most recently to coincide with the Exam starting August 31, 2011. Each single order gives you one set of 12 laminated charts based on PMBOK® 4. Use the charts to improve your project management or order them for your project team so they can all stay on track. They are also very useful tools to help you pass the PMI® Certification Exams. These workflows provide amazing project visibility from start to finish. This is the best investment you can make to follow the best practices of project management in your enterprise. At SmartPath LLC we use these workflows to train people in project management so they can pass the PMP® Exam with less struggle. They clearly show the inputs and outputs of each process and where they are coming from and where they go. Key outputs are in red ink. Better know these for the PMI® Exam. There is the vertical Workflow # 12 that shows the Processes. Better know the Processes within the Process Groups from this vertical view. This way you will know the next best step for the PMP® Exam as this Workflow is sequenced. Workflow 1 through 9 show the Knowledge areas within the process groups. This package of 12 charts gives you process-driven, time-based workflows. All the tools & techniques are lined up with the process in each Workflow. The roles, tasks, and responsibilities of the PM is also on each of the 9 Knowledge Areas Workflow, as well as the Workflow 10. Order yours today! See the description for each workflow below.

How the project management workflows can help you

(1) Helps you understand project management and will enable greater success in passing the pmi certification exam so you can get your PMP®.

(2) Shows you the project from start to finish and what you should be doing under each knowledge area and in each process group.

(3) You can keep tract of where you are in the project at any given time, what needs to be done next, what can be skipped and returned to, and what are the inputs, outputs.


More about SmartPath LLC's Process-Driven Time-Based Laminated Project Management Workflow Charts These workflow charts are a visual aid for start-to-end project visibility, providing sequential flow of activities, metrics identifiers, intelligent paths between the tasks, and also show integrated links.

These workflow diagrams describe each knowledge area's activities in a sequential flow from left to right. This makes it easier to follow the process. Each activity is presented with input, output and deliverables. The input, output and deliverables are clearly identified and labeled. These visual presentations are easy to follow in their respective knowledge area and provide execution aid to the PM. These workflows enable PM's to see the deliverables before and after each activity. This provides visibility to the PM to determine if a deliverable is critical, dependent or independent before and after each activity. This also shows whether or not the activity needs to be completed immediately or whether it can be delayed. This visual aid also depicts activities that may not be necessary to complete in a small-scaled project. However, it provides the metrics that will differentiate the task the PM does not have to do based on the value of the project. The PM can use a whiteboard marker as a reminder for him/her to come back to complete the unfinished task.

Scroll through the project management workflows. This is an example only as we only sell the Version 4 Workflows. However they look similar but reflect the changes.

Benefits of the laminated workflow charts for Project Managers

• Visual aid -- end-to-end project visibility

• Sequential flow of activities

• Metrics identifier

• Intelligent paths between the tasks

• Integrated links

These workflows are unparalleled in the field

However, the most important deliverables from one activity to the other are clearly identified. The activities are colored coded to distinguish between the knowledge groups. This provides start to finish visibility. And the roles, tasks, and responsibilities are also reflected on this workflow as well as the formulas project managers need. This Workflow is invaluable for the usual project sequences.

PM Workflow 11: Project Process Groups

This workflow depicts some of the most crucial process connections in project management. Certainly all of these need to be known for the Exam. It is a great example of how to map the process outputs to where they become inputs in another process. If you can understand the connections, you will understand project management.

PM Workflow 12: Complete Project Process Group Versus Project Knowledge Areas

This workflow shows the entire project process groups and project knowledge areas. The activities under process groups are shown connected to the next process group based on best industry practices. To keep the workflow legible all process deliverables and interconnections are not drawn. Please note that the interconnections and the deliverables between activities may vary between project to project based on project value and other attributes such as service or product.
