Flows: Project Management

This 18-minute course offers a comprehensive understanding of 'Flows,' a robust project management solution designed for the building sector. Through engaging content, participants will learn to harness 'Flows' for comprehensive progress tracking, from initial design phases right through to project completion.

Key Course Content:

The course begins by defining a "Flow" as a flexible folder-like structure for project management. Participants will explore the core concept of creating a main project flow upon initiation, allowing the setup of goals, timelines, and roles. The session then demonstrates practical examples of flow creation, including simple "one-off project flows" for single tasks like an energy model, where progress and responsibilities can be easily assigned.

A key part of the course delves into more complex flow structures: "independent project flows" for managing external certifications (e.g., Green Star, Passive House) by organising categories and credits, with a look ahead to future features like URL-based information submission. The session also covers "multi-stage project flows," which allow for project phases (e.g., concept, schematic, detailed design) to be managed with sub-flows for different analyses (e.g., energy model, daylight analysis) within each stage.

Participants will gain hands-on experience creating a project flow, defining project details, setting start/end dates, and assigning project managers. The course then walks through adding sub-flows, assigning "doers" and "reviewers," attaching design files, and progressing the workflow status (e.g., 'in progress' to 'submit for review'). It also covers linking existing designs to flows and understanding the review process, including reviewer actions like approving or returning work. Finally, the session briefly touches on monitoring project timelines and activities within the Flows interface.

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of this course, participants will be thoroughly equipped to conduct hygrothermal simulations meeting National Construction Code requirements, interpret complex moisture analysis results, and generate professional compliance reports for building projects.

Course Completion:

A Certificate of Completion will be awarded upon achieving an 80% pass mark on the final quiz.
