metoCube PM process template is an add-on that loads the PMBOK's process structure onto metoCube. In this way, you can streamline the adoption of the best practices described in the PMBOK guide by your organization, something that can boost project success rate.

Business Benefits

PMBOK is not something that you can use out of the box, as it is not a methodology. It describes practices that are "generally accepted on most projects, most of the time", so some effort is needed to translate it into a specific methodology that takes the characteristics of your industry, and more specifically of your organization, into account. This is exactly what metoCube Project Management process template has been designed for.

There are several methodologies that apply PMBOK principles, but they tend to be too rigid, making it difficult to adapt them to your organization. The main value of metoCube Project Management process template lies in its flexibility, allowing you to create your own PMBOK aligned PM methodology, fitting your company's needs smoothly.

By building a methodology based on the PMBOK, you will see the PMBOK principles and best practices translated into day to day project management activities. With metoCube PMBOK process template you can develop PMBOK processes into concrete work instructions that are appropriate to your specific organizational structure and to the systems in use in your company And it will be immediately available throughout your organization.

How to use metoCube PMBOK process template

metoCube PMBOK process template will streamline, accelerate and ensure success of your PMBOK deployment project by providing you with an already built process and object structure that will help you understand the complex relations between processes and objects (mainly documents) that act as inputs and outputs. You will be able to analyze the PMBOK elements from multiple points of view, answering questions such as:

• When is the Work Breakdown Structure created?
• In which processes is it used as an input?
• In which processes is it updated?

Once you have the methodology in place you will be able to:

• Analyze and understand the PM processes from multiple points of view.
• Effectively deploy the methodology. Every project team member can look up detailed descriptions of each task he or she is responsible for.
• Easily introduce changes that are immediately available to everyone.
• Expand your project management methodology to include your company's specific operating processes, facilitating processes, etc... and extend your methodology to include processes that do not form part of PMBOK (e.g. Portfolio and Program Management processes, presales processes, etc...)

What kind of companies is metoCube PM process template directed at?

• Companies of any size undertaking an initiative to enhance the performance of their projects that want to take advantage of a standard such as the PMBOK, preferring a progressive approach towards methodology, based on simple solutions that provide quick results.
• Companies that already have a project management methodology, but need a tool to manage and continuously enhance it.
