Process management series 

Parts 1 through 4

This four-part series describes not only process  concepts, but also a complete process methodology and management infrastructure, including deployment in the IT industry and other industries.

Part 1: Concepts and Definitions: shows the importance of having stabilized processes that can be replicated, and important concepts and definitions.

Reducing the probability of poor quality is Quality Management.  Reducing the probability of being late is Process Management.  This part correlates IT challenges and Management by Process, including managing risk.  Numerous concepts and definitions are covered, including the meaning of Policy, Standards, and Procedures.  

Part 2: Methodology Overview and Planning: shows a Process Management Methodology, both in overview form and detail of the first phase, process planning.

Roles and responsibilities of the Process Management Team and Standards committee are discussed, including major activities.  A 4-step method for the first phase, process planning, is described, including team formation, inventorying, defining, and mapping processes, and prioritizing those that need improvement.

Part 3: Process Definition, Control, Deployment, and Updating:
describes the remaining 2 phases of the 3 phase process methodology.

In the Definition and Control phase, you will learn a 5 step sequence of activities, including initiating process development, developing processes, designing process control, building process control, and gaining management approval.  In the Process Deployment and Updating phase, you will learn a 2 step process for deploying, packaging, executing, and updating processes.

Part 4: Process Infrastructure:  describes how to manage and deploy the process methodology.

This discussion includes building a process management infrastructure, using professional processes as a guide, and short-term process strategy for implementation.

Are you confused about the "synonyms" of policy, standards, and procedures? Are you puzzled about which procedures to modify and which standards to keep unchanged?  Is your standards program universally disrespected?  Tired of processes that are not followed or not practical? Mystified about how to methodically build and maintain processes?

Find out what it takes to brush these problems aside, not simply with quick fixes and corrections, but also with the thoroughness that only comes with a great process connected to world-class concepts.

"Letting your customers set your standards is a dangerous game, because the race to the bottom is pretty easy to win. Setting your own standards--and living up to them--is a better way to profit. Not to mention a better way to make your day worth all the effort you put into it." 

Seth Godin
