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.

Managing IT Projects in Dynamic Environments: Key Strategies
It is widely known within the project management profession that failure rates increase with project size (Collyer, 2009), but the article goes to great lengths to inform readers as to the effect that dynamic environments can exert on this existing trend. The concept of scope control, while essential to managing projects of every variety, is especially pertinent when attempting to guide a project that is subject to a dynamic environment. In addition to the practice of segmentation described above, Collyer advocates a process known as controlled experimentation for project managers hoping to mitigate the risks of continually changing project parameters. According to Collyer's research, "organisations in environments with high levels of unknowns should benefit from experimentation, discovery and selection processes" (2009), and confirmation of this theory can be found whenever a major company develops multiple prototypes for prerelease testing, or when firms perform their due diligence using several independent auditors. By spreading resources equally among a number of segments, at least during the initial phases of the project schedule, competent managers can utilize controlled experimentation to quickly identify weaknesses, order improvements, and investing time and energy appropriately once feasibility has been evaluated.
