Review: Monitor and Controls





Why do we Monitor? To keep project in control.
How do we monitor? Monitor the budget, schedule and
performance to assess scope creep
Set standards and benchmarks early
Record variances from forecast schedules and budget
using Status Reports for input
Calculate Earned value using the reported values
Calculate Performance Indicators. CPI
Respond quickly to indicators of variance – cost and
schedule – see other slides

How do we control the project – stop Scope Creep?

Scope creep is the most common problem - it can be
the schedule, budget or quality that is affected.
Assess using your Status Reports information from
item #1
1. Review the changes occurring from plan
2. Translate into time, $ and performance (quality)
3. Do a cost benefit analysis
4. Get changes approved
5. Communicate to all who need to know + docs.
6. Monitor the effect of the changes
