Now you know a enough about Project Management, how do you implement monitoring and controlling
while managing a project?
Project monitoring and control processes are key factors to making sure a project is completed within
the deadline and the client is satisfied with the outcome.
Track Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s)
- Make sure timelines for project deliverables, budgets,
and quality are being kept up to date or are on track.
Monitor Deadlines and have Quality Checks
- Have check points throughout the project to make
sure deadlines and quality are being followed. Have a plan to fix, speed the process up, or
amend the project plan if not up to specifications documented.
Establish the Project Scope
- Verify and document the project scope so that all parties agree.
Change requests may be considered but know when to say no.
Strong Teamwork
- Clear communication, defined roles and expectations, and adequate time to
finish deliverables will help prevent burnout, errors, or falling behind on deadlines.
Risk Consideration
- Consider the risk of taking on a project. Assess the risk of individual tasks on
the project too. Find ways to mitigate risk and negative impacts on the current and future similar
projects.
Keep Project Templates on hand
- Having templates of projects can be helpful as reference when
starting a similar project
