    About this ebook

    Foreword by industry legend Harold Kerzner!This book describes a completely unique step-by-step, workflow-guiding approach to project management which simplifies activities by enforcing execution of all required processes on time, and redirecting to an alternative path in the event of project issues. Since compliance with all project management processes is enforced by the workflow, product quality is significantly improved and life cycle errors are almost eliminated. Project Workflow Management: A Business Process Approach is the first and only book in the marketplace which enables readers with no prior project management experience to manage the entire life cycle of any small to mid-sized project. It also equips mid- and senior-level project managers with directions and a detailed map to the effective management of complex projects and programs.

      Phasing a project is a good practice. To express project management in terms of processes and decision making points is recognized in the processes that make up the framework PRINCE2. The same premise (controlled environments, process-based) is found at the initial chapters of Project Workflow Management by Daniel Epstein & Rich Maltzman. An ideal project that has containers, in this book frames, for requirements, planning, construction / tracking and closing / testing. The approach so initially limits itself to a linear, one-off project to manage. Where PMBOK is the toolbox full of methods, principles and practices, an approach like Project Workflow Management provides sequences of activities, decisions, inputs and results, templates, checklists and examples. More than 50 process flow diagrams are provided to help you out and give a visual overview of the work you're doing as a project manager.This unique approach significantly improves projects quality because the compliance with all required project management processes is enforced by PM Workflow®, saving companies expenses. The book illustrates project management business processes and their flows by over fifty process flow diagrams with a visual portrayal and detailed explanation of processes. Techniques like risk management, financial analysis, business requirements analysis and planning all have their place in frames. Events like a new issue, scope change, or identified risk each triggers a process. The Project Control Book, estimating, earned value analysis, resource and quality management are there. Less words are spent on the human factors, such as leadership, teamwork, dealing with resistance and stakeholder engagement. Powerful is the workflow approach. Following the steps, you'd include actions you otherwise would forget soon.The book is accompanied by a website at which tools, e.g. project risk assessment, the earned value analysis and the client satisfaction evaluation are available for free. Updated drawings and other resources to which a ‘customer of the book’ gets access are there as well.
