Task 8 Monitoring and Control

Once you’ve moved into Execution, the team takes over the heavy lifting.  Now the project manager has to assess if the project is tracking and if course corrections are required. You need to be able to control scope, time, cost, and quality.  Differences between the plan and where you find yourself are called variances (positive or negative).  It’s important to understand the source of variance.
