Process Orientation
The methods of PMI®
(Project Management Institute) are process oriented. The PMBOK
Guide describes 44 processes of project management, which are being
performed in coordination with the process environment, the
organizational process assets and the customer.
Each process is described by its
- Inputs
- Tools and techniques
- Outputs
These processes are described as "good practices for most of the
projects most of the time".
Some processes may be limited to certain situations like
initiating and closing processes, others are repeatedly visited and
revisited during the course of the project.
The goal: To implement the learning processes, which are
occurring continuously during the course of the project, to ensure
project success.
Many projects run into troubles because the processes of project
management have not been implemented professionally.

Approach
My support during the process of adaptation and implementation of
systems based on PMI methodologies ensures the RoI.
My approach is pull-oriented and is based on the updating
routines for organizational process assets according to the PMBOK Guide 3rd Edition.
Process Assets can include
- Tools
- Templates
- Forms
- Process descriptions
- Know-how of staff members
This approach does not impose elements of project management on
the organization and the project team but develops them out of
day-by-day practice. The result is a moderate methodology with high
acceptance by all stakeholders.
