“Intelligent Launch: How to Make Processes Work for You”

John, a project manager, was used to working under time pressure. His day was scheduled down to the minute, and tasks were multiplying like a snowball. But one day he realized that the reason for his workload was not the number of tasks, but the fact that he was spending his time ineffectively. The question he asked himself was simple: “How can I make time work for me?”

The Mystery of Lost Time

John realized that many of the tasks he had been putting off could have been launched long ago. Requests, negotiations, ideas – all of this could be turned into independent processes that would continue to work even when he was busy with other things. This is how he discovered the “Intelligent Process Initiation” (IPI) method – intelligent process launch.

What are independent processes?

Independent processes are actions that, once initiated, continue to move without your direct participation. For example:

• Sending a request to a partner.
• Automated calculation or report.
• Initiating a team discussion of an idea.

These processes work as autonomous agents. John realized that they need to be launched intelligently. But how?

MPLM Lessons: Planning as an Art

John remembered the MPLM concept — a service architecture consisting of seven modules. Each module helped to structure the process and make it successful.

Configuration module: John first defined the purpose of the request. He realized that the correct formulation is already half the success.

Resource delivery module: He prepared all the information and materials that the performers might need in advance.

Resource verification module: Before sending the request, John checked its content and made sure that all the details were clear.

Work package module: He broke the task into stages so that the performers knew exactly what to do.

Quality verification module: John added success criteria: he clearly defined how he would evaluate the result.

Result delivery module: The final goal was formulated clearly and transparently.

Completion Module: After completing the work, John left time for review and feedback.

Results of Intelligent Launch

John noticed that a little analysis before launching the process became a valuable tool for him.

• • Errors practically disappeared. Requests became clear and understandable.
  • Performers worked better. They saw the structure of the task and understood their role.
  • Saving time. Each launched process freed him up for other tasks.

When time works for you

Now John knew that each independent process is not just an action, but a thoughtful investment of time. Thanks to the IPI method, he was able to focus on more important tasks while his processes worked for him.

“Time is a resource that can not be returned, but it can be directed in the right direction,” John thought, opening his laptop. The list of tasks was flashing on the screen, but now it did not cause anxiety. John knew that he could handle them smartly and efficiently.
