About the Program:

Project Process Tailoring

Certified project managers are expected to competently identify, select, and apply appropriate project management processes in projects. Including the right mix of such processes in projects is highly challenging but essential to assuring the successful delivery of expected products, services, and results—with success in projects defined as when expected, within budget, and to customer satisfaction.

This presentation on process tailoring will briefly cover a guidelines document that includes four parts:

  • Part One – Concepts of project level determination and process tailoring.
  • Part Two – Guidelines associated with developing the tool.
  • Part Three – Summary of project level criteria and oversight requirements.
  • Part Four – Instructions for tool usage.


    • Accompanying the guidelines is a tool that will also be covered and that, when used as intended, helps answer the following question: “How should the project be approached, and exactly which processes should be selected and applied based on the project’s characteristics or traits?”
