Monitoring and control techniques can be split in to three areas: project plan monitoring, project budget monitoring, monitoring through regular status and/or stage reporting and monitoring carried at different levels by the project team. This guide gives an overview of each area and describes key project monitoring techniques. Monitoring and control techniques are defined in the Project Initiation Document (PID). Read an overview of the PID, guidance on completion of the monitoring section of the PID.
Change control is a crucial aspect of project management, taking into account the way technology is advancing and the pace at which change is required in organizations. During a project's lifetime, there are several instances where the set course needs to be redefined as per changing needs of the project, or changes in the priorities of the functionalities, or upgradations in the initial frame of the project.
If a project on its onset looks like its functionalities and features cannot be made clear at first, project managers should consider opting for an incremental and iterative approach, like the Agile method. With this, the project will be completed with feedback and in loops of iteration, thereby providing enough time for a better understanding of its requirements.
The change control process in a project management life cycle has three responsibilities to be carried out-
As evident from the title itself, it’s a process that tracks the actual project performance with the planned project management activities. Manage, and Control process is a control function that takes place at all stages of the project - from Initiation through Closing. The key benefit of this process is that it allows the Stakeholders to understand the current state of the project, the steps taken, and budget, schedule, and scope forecasts.
Through the process of Monitor and Control, the project manager must be in a position to balance the requirements that arise from different knowledge areas. For example, the project manager can undergo situations, where a project is completed on-time, but, it has failed to meet the quality standards mentioned in the project management plan. Likewise, the project might have a significant scope, but unfortunately, it has exceeded the time and cost limit. Hence, the process of monitoring and controlling project work is considered extremely important.
