Project Management with micro.p3.express
What is micro.P3.express?
micro.P3.express is a flavor of P3.express designed for micro-projects with approximately 1 to 7 team members, which can be run in various environments, from mega- to micro‑organizations (including single-person ones). Similar to P3.express, micro.P3.express is a minimalist project management system.
Why P3.express?
Despite the existence of different systems and guides, most projects are run intuitively, without a practical structured project management system.
The fact is that fundamental standards, while invaluable, are complex for most projects.
If you replace Excel with a programming language, most people won’t be able to use it, even though a programming language (representing the fundamental standards) is more capable than Excel.
Most of the current fundamental project management systems and guides are all like programming languages.
P3.express is a simple tool that most people can use as of day one after learning about it.
How does P3.express work?
P3.express uses a cyclical system to make the activities simpler and more regular. There are monthly, weekly, and daily cycles, each of which focused on one aspect of managerial activities.
In addition to the cycles, there’s a project initiation activity group run at the beginning, and a project closure group at the end.
Finally, there’s a post-project management group: a cycle run after the project is finished, to evaluate the benefits.
Besides the process, there are 4 management documents and a number of roles.
P3.express is fully described in its online manual.
