Illustrated Guides to Understanding Inputs, the I in ITTO.

What does ITTO mean?

In project management, ITTO - Inputs, Tools, Techniques, and Outputs-is a framework with four basic components that helps you identify the resources needed to complete a task or deliverable. There will always be some uncertainty when managing a project. However, by using ITTO we can minimize the uncertainty and increase our chances of success.

Understanding why project managers use ITTO, is key to determining which tools and techniques are most effective for managing any given project. ITTO provides a framework for thinking about and organizing all of the different elements of a project.

In this article, we explore the first component of ITTO:

Inputs
Inputs is any item required by a process before that process commences. For example, the business case and benefits management plan are inputs to the Develop Project Charter Process.

An Illustrated Guide to Inputs (Tables, Videos, Animation, Questions)

Typically used in conjunction with visuals tools such as tables, videos, animation, ITTO can help create a more detailed picture of the project and help identify any potential risks or issues that may arise. Here at Visual PMP Academy we illustrate these relationships with visual tools you can access below such as different categories of tables, videos, animation and questions to enhance your learning and understanding of the ITTO framework and how it can be used to better manage projects and ensure their success.

To get you started with Inputs, consider the tables below.

Our visual methods and techniques can make the ITTOs, processes, their relationships, and PMP concepts easy to understand. You can use these tools as a road map to better understand their concepts in preparation for your PMP Exam (https://www.avisualpmpacademy.com/post/details-of-pmp-certification-exam) most of the material in the PMBOK mostly represents ITTOs.
