Introduction
Monitoring and Control are opposite sides of selection and planning– bases for selection dictate what to monitor– plans identify elements to control
Monitoring is collection, recording, and reporting of information
Control uses monitored information to align actual performance with the plan

Plan-Monitor-Control Cycle
Closed loop process Planning-monitoring-controlling effort
often minimized to spend time on “the real work”

Designing the Monitoring System Identify special characteristics of performance,
cost, and time that need to be controlled– performance characteristics should be set for each level
of detail in the project
Real-time data should be collected and compared against plans– mechanisms to collect this data must be designed
Avoid tendency to focus on easily collected data

Meeting Guidelines
Meetings should be help primarily for group decision making– avoid weekly progress report meetings
Distribute written agenda in advance of meeting
![Page 17: Copyright 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 7-1 Project Management in Practice Second Edition Prepared by Scott M. Shafer Wake Forest University Mantel, Meredith,](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5697bff01a28abf838cba8a1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Meeting Guidelines continued
Ensure everyone is properly prepared for meeting
Chair of meeting should take minutes– avoid attributing remarks to individuals in the
minutes
Avoid excessive formality If meeting is held to address specific crisis,
restrict meeting to this issue alone

Background Purpose is to correct errors, not punish the guilty Investments in control subject to diminishing
returns Must consider impact on creativity and innovation Be careful not emphasize short-run results at the
expense of long-run objectives Dangers of across the board cuts

Types of Control Systems
Go/No-Go Controls– predetermined standard must be met for
permission to be granted to continue
Post-Control– done after project completed– purpose is to allow future projects to learn from
past project experience

change order Require approval in writing by the client’s
agent and senior management Consult with PM prior to preparation of
change order Amend master plan to reflect changes
