Monitoring and control, a vital process in project management.

When we talk about project management, it involves a lot of things. It can be broken down into several processes, one of which is monitoring and control.

The monitoring and control process is the regular observation and tracking of the progress of a project or multiple projects. This is perhaps the most important process within project management.

It can be divided into 2 processes;

  • Project monitoring
  • Project control

By executing these processes successfully, you also increase the success of the project.

Project Monitoring

Monitoring is regularly observing and checking the progress of a project. This is an essential step in bringing a project to a successful conclusion. Monitoring a project consists of multiple tasks such as; keeping track of budget, checking and maintaining schedule, staying on top of execution and foreseeing problems. This can quickly become cluttered for a project manager.
