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

This course introduces you to the fundamentals of project flow management, defining "Flows" as flexible folder-like structures that streamline project organisation and workflow. You'll learn how to create main project flows upon initiation, set up goals and timelines, assign roles effectively, and manage everything from simple one-off tasks to complex multi-stage projects with comprehensive tracking and review processes.

You'll explore different flow structures to suit various project needs, starting with simple "one-off project flows" for single tasks like energy models where progress and responsibilities can be easily assigned. The course then delves into more sophisticated approaches including "independent project flows" for managing external certifications such as Green Star or Passive House by organising categories and credits, with insights into future features like URL-based information submission. You'll also master "multi-stage project flows" that allow you to manage project phases from concept through to detailed design using sub-flows for different analyses within each stage.

The hands-on component walks you through the practical steps of creating project flows, defining project details, setting start and end dates, and assigning project managers effectively. You'll gain experience adding sub-flows, assigning "doers" and "reviewers," attaching design files, and progressing workflow status from 'in progress' to 'submit for review.' The course covers linking existing designs to flows, understanding the complete review process including reviewer actions like approving or returning work, and monitoring project timelines and activities within the Flows interface for optimal project oversight.

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.
