In today's talk, we are going to review the process management practice area, otherwise known as PCM, specifically practice group levels one through three. Process management PCM is one of three practice areas within the improving performance capability area, which is itself in the improving category. The practice areas with the improving performance capability area are all focused on different aspects of process and performance improvement. Managing performance and measurement MPM provides guidance on the establishment, use and evolution of measurement regimes to provide insight into process performance. Process asset development PAD is concerned with the practicalities …
