4.0 MONITORING AND CONTROLLING PROCESS GROUP
The purpose of the Monitoring and Controlling Process Group is to review project work results and compare them to planned results. A significant variance indicates the need for preventive actions, corrective actions, or change requests. There are 11 processes in the Monitoring and Controlling Process Group:
- Monitor and Control Project Work
- Perform Integrated Change Control
- Validate Scope
- Control Scope
- Control Schedule
- Control Costs
- Control Quality
- Control Resources
- Monitor Communications
- Monitor Risks
- Control Procurements
- Monitor Stakeholder Engagement
The intent of the Monitoring and Controlling Process Group is to at least:
- Review and analyze project performance
- Recommend changes and corrective and preventive actions
- Process change requests
- Report project performance
- Monitor risk activities, responses, and status
- Manage contractors
- Monitor the effectiveness of stakeholder engagement
Monitoring and controlling takes place throughout the project, from inception to closing. All variances are identified, and all change requests are processed here. The product deliverables are also accepted in the monitoring and controlling processes.
The forms used to document these activities include:
