The Process Flow Diagram is a key document for all project managers that want to run a project following the recommended steps and processes. The PRINCE2 Process Flow Diagram is a graphical ‘at a glance‘ representation of all the PRINCE2 processes and how they fit together and it shows all the processes involved in running a PRINCE2 project from start to finish.

PRINCE2 (Projects IN Controlled Environment) is a structured method for the effective and efficient management of projects. It is a generic, best-practice approach for the management of all types of projects and it has become the de facto standard for organising, managing and controlling projects globally.

And is it possible to avoid them? With this presentation Mr Georges de Wasseige will present some of the typical issues that could impact the success of a project, and will show with concrete examples how to identify and avoid them. Very often an efficient PMO office in place can help the organization prevent project failure through risk and resources analysis and lessons learned.”

Annabelle Haegeman, Strategic Coordination and Communication at FPS Finance, presented at our yearly conference for the Public Sector the steps of this journey and the critical factors for success. With her words: “Five years after the start of the reform, we realised that we needed more transparancy and uniformity (on budget allocation & spending, on project realisation …) and we needed to increase the success rate of our projets. We therefore analysed the actual situation and what were our strenghts and weaknesses. And that is where we identified the four critical success factors below.”

You are a Project Manager, and most probably hold one (or more) great Project Management certifications. What’s next? Most of professionals in the Project Management world already know about Programme, Portfolio and PMO management; some of them already work at PMO level for example, having helped with the set up of a “Centre of Excellence” in their organization. But how do you know what is the right next step after Project Management? How to identify the right action that can fit your needs? A few years ago, you would sometimes hear project management called “The Accidental Profession”. This was the idea that we became project managers, not by design, but by accident. Professionals started as specialists in IT, Engineering, Real Estate, Construction or whatever; today we have been transformed into project managers. If you find yourself in this situation, you may be missing the skills for your new “accidental” career… This article clearly explains some of next possible steps after Project Management.

That implied a lot of change, reorganization, services merger and so on; a lot of projects going on and they all had to proceed also.
