Ted Tenhagen 8-2 Short Paper: Monitoring and Controlling Projects QSO-640-X5527 July 29 th , 2022
Tenhagen 2 Monitoring Tasks To effectively monitor the tasks that are involved in a project, you as the project manager should begin as soon as the project starts and then continue monitoring them until the project is completed (Miller, 2017). Throughout the project, the PM (project manager) is the member of the team who should distribute the tasks of the project to the team members who could perform the task best. The PM should also make sure that the assigned tasks are completed in a timely manner to avoid delays. Due to the position they have in the team, the PM is the one who should know the strengths of each team member and could help to avoid setting a team member up for failure by assigning them tasks that they are not equipped to handle. A major component of monitoring the tasks involved in the project is to make sure that the team is hitting the milestones planned by the scheduling committee. Directing Resources Once the project has begun, with the tasks assigned to the appropriate team members and the project milestones laid out to the team, the PM needs to make sure that the resources the team needs are allocated in the most efficient way possible. This can be done by creating a budget for each task and then combining them based on the milestone they are a part of. The PM should also be the one to determine the best route forward should one of the tasks/milestones either becomes more expensive than planned or takes a longer amount of time. The allocating of resources extends to more than just the finances of the project though, since they need to make sure the proper amount of team members are assigned to each task and the proper time is dedicated to completing the milestones.
