What is the process improvement plan?

A process improvement plan applies not just to the specific quality of the project deliverables; rather it’s a place for the project manager to document ideas and suggestions the team develops on an ongoing basis for improving all of the processes of the project. As part of the continuous improvement initiative (Kaizen attitude), the project manager and the team are always looking for ways to improve the ways things are done and executed on the project. At team meetings, the project manager seeks input from the project team members as to how certain procedures or processes should be improved. The project manager can then include these suggestions in the process improvement plan, which can also be used as lessons learned on future projects.
