What is P3.express?
P3.express is a minimalist, practical project management system, supported by the European Union. It’s easy to learn, use and teach.
P3.express is open and free, with a Creative Commons license.
It is compatible with DPMM, the PMBOK® Guide, PRINCE2®, other widespread methods, standards and frameworks.
Why P3.express?
Because despite the existence of fundamental systems such as PRINCE2® and the PMBOK® Guide, many projects are run intuitively, without the help of a structured project management system. This is the case because the fundamental standards, while invaluable, are quite complex and tailoring them to your particular project can take a lot of effort.
That is where the minimalist P3.express project management system comes in.
How does P3.express work?
P3.express uses a cyclical system to make the activities more simple and regular. There are monthly, weekly, and daily cycles, each of which focused on one aspect of management 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 (Project Description, Deliverables Map, Follow-Up Register a Health Register) and a number of roles.
P3.express is fully described in its online manual, which is available free of charge.
