Description:

This image presents a comprehensive flowchart titled "The Project Process," outlining the stages of project management, broken down into key decision points, called gates, and detailed tasks. Starting at the top left, we have "Gate 0," which involves strategic and budgetary approval to initiate the project. This leads to phases such as "Project Set-up" and "Project Definition," which involve appointing a project leader, defining the project, and assessing risks.

In the "Undertake Design" phase, technical, commercial compatibility, and safety case modifications are considered. Passing through "Gate 1" and "Gate 2," the project moves towards "Undertake Tender" with tender invitations and assessments, and upon reaching "Gate 3," it gets approval to place the contract.

The bottom half of the flowchart deals with implementation, starting with installation, execution, and organizing training, before moving towards control, where the project status is compared with planned figures. "Gate 4" signals readiness for operation before proceeding to project completion, involving a project review and handover documents.

The supplementary yellow sticky note highlights the importance of clear articulation of process and understanding confusions and uncertainties, urging project managers to be cautious when managing a project.
