What are project management process groups?

Process groups are a practical way to organize project work from start to finish: initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and controlling, and closing.

What do the Project Sensai process group guides include?

They provide guided checklists and prompts that help you complete key activities and deliverables across all five process groups, turning theory into practical steps.

Are the guides only for new project managers?

No. New PMs use them to avoid missing key steps, while experienced PMs use them as fast checklists to stay consistent across projects.

How do the guides connect to other Project Sensai tools?

They align with and complement Project Sensai builders such as the business case, project charter, discovery templates, and project plan builders.

Where can I access the process group guides?

They are available inside Project Sensai on PerchBase.
