What is Process Essays (Examples)?

A process essay is fundamentally different from other types of academic writing assignments. In fact, it is closer to technical writing than to other types of academic writing. That is because a process essay describes a process that leads to a specific outcome. There are two approaches to the process essay. The first approach is often referred to as a directional process essay and is the simpler of the two approaches; it describes the steps necessary to complete a task. The second approach to the process essay does more than outline steps, it also analyzes or explains the steps involved in the process. The wording of your assignment will be important when you are trying to determine which approach to take while writing your process essay.

The introduction of your process essay needs to accomplish several things. First, it needs to introduce the process you are going to describe, and give background information about that process, when such information is necessary. Next, it needs to identify your audience. Identifying your audience does not require actually saying the targeted audience for your essay, but, if your reader needs a certain educational, technical, or professional background to understand the essay, then the introduction provides a great opportunity for you to provide that material.

The body of the essay involves your actual descriptions of the process. For simple directional process essays, the body of the essay involves a step-by-step description of each part of the process. For analytical process essays, in addition to outlining the steps you might explain them to the reader or analyze whether the steps are necessary to the process and make the process more efficient, or should be eliminated or changed in order to maximize efficiency and performance.

Finally, the conclusion of your essay will reiterate what you hope to achieve with the process described in the essay. If you have analyzed the process and found it lacking, the conclusion may also describe suggestions for further study or review.

Total Quality Management tools for IT project quality control

Within the field of information technology (IT) project management, the use of quality control and quality assurance (QC / QA) programs involves the precise application of numerous tools, techniques, principles and practices designed to ensure that IT projects prioritize quality during the duration of their planning, implementation, and delivery. Decades of research focused on the theoretical foundations of project management have resulted in the development of Seven Basic Tools of Quality, including cause-and-effect diagrams, control charts, run charts, scatter diagrams, histograms, Pareto charts, and flowcharts (Schwalbe, 2011). These advanced forms of statistical analysis assist IT project managers in the intricate process of achieving continual balance with regards to the triple constraint of budget, time, and scope that limits a project's progression. According to a recent research project conducted to assess the use of QC / QA tools in a total of 370 ISO 9001:2000 certified companies in Greece, "quality tools such as control charts, histogram and run chart appeared to be utilized throughout the production stages at one-third of the surveyed companies" (Fotopoulos & Psomas, 2009), and further study has suggested that these results can be extrapolated the worldwide IT industry.
