When assigned a new project, are you unsure how to start?
​
In your organizations, project leadership often falls into the hands of individuals who don't necessarily have "project manager" in their job titles.
You juggle multiple responsibilities, making allocating sufficient time and attention to each project challenging. Without proper project management training, you face an uphill battle, lacking the necessary knowledge and tools to drive projects effectively.

Not knowing how to start results from not having a workflow to follow. Not following a workflow leads to inconsistencies, wasted resources, and missed opportunities. We have witnessed countless project teams reinvent the wheel with each endeavor.

Many items contain best practice recommendations, and workflow creators can insert custom guidance for individual users.
Starting with proven project workflow eliminates the need to reinvent the wheel, ensuring consistency and saving time and effort. They provide a launch pad for creating innovative solutions.
Missing essential work is usually caused when using simple task lists unconnected from outcomes.
​
Simple task lists lack focus on what they are expected to produce, causing items to be missed.
​
Don't start doing project work until you have organized and assessed the tasks.
Our three-level work structure provides a powerful tool for organizing and vetting all project work.
​
If you start with a brainstormed task list, review the list and identify the deliverables; they are the things that will be produced. Add additional deliverables.
​
Select a deliverable and identify the work required to produce the deliverable. Combine tasks into logical groups that will be assigned to specific individuals. Brainstorm the task groups to identify and validate the tasks. Have the person assigned to the task group and tasks review and validate the work.​

This software helped me stay focused on accomplishing my goals and offered unobtrusive reminders to the events that needed attention. I also like how it allowed me to pull in other team members, allowing a more collaborative approach to assignments.

Dan Pappalarado, Security Analyst, Meditech
"Rather than just adding tasks and dates and holding people's feet to the fire, this software helps you think through the processes and workflow prior to mapping the project out. If you are new to an organization or have never done a project before, use this before your first meeting! I believe this is an initial version which is why the pricing is quite low."
