Hi All! I hope all of you are in good health. I needed to ask that what could be the best way to implement P.M tools and methodologies in academia industry where research is more prior than the administration and when the old processes to be followed are already defined but majorly lack efficiency.
Can P.M be implemented in Administration department as well?

Hi Kiron- Thank you for your reply.

I think as per your advise it would be better for me to segregate projects and non-projects and implement very basic templates at first. Can any P.M methodologies and templates be applied to the stuff which is only already defined processes to accomplish a certain frequently repeated task, but its not a project.

Saad -

For existing operational processes, the focus should be on process effectiveness & efficiency. Ensuring there are proper process controls in place, good training and well documented procedures will all help. While some PM knowledge areas such as quality management will come into play, for these, you'd be better off drawing from lean six sigma or other process excellence frameworks.
