Home  >  Microprocesses

Cut right to the heart of matters with targeted "microprocesses." These quick, concise processes are designed to get you through sticky situations and over major hurdles in all aspects of project management. Keep your focus and stay on track so you can bring in more successful projects. If you can get the little things right, the big success is sure to follow.
Business Case Development
No project is going to get off the ground until it gets the okay from management. Think of the Business Case as your project's launching pad. This is where you sell, sell, sell to the decision-makers in your organization--justifying your proposal in a clear, concise and above all persuasive manner. Construct your report and present your case in a way that speaks to the business goals of the whole business, and you've taken your first step toward success.

Project Change Control
The only certainty about a project is that changes are going to happen. How you handle those changes can make the difference between success and failure. To increase your chance of success, you need a process that allows you to identify, assess and properly manage changes to the project as they occur. Changes to a project are inevitable; the trick is to exercise good judgment and handle change in a streamlined, non-bureaucratic way. This process is designed to help you implement an efficient and effective method of change control within your project management framework.
