Ch3.6 - MonitorandControlling Process Group Flashcards
What is the monitor/control process group
Process required to track, review, orchestrate progress and performance of the project; identify any areas in which changes to the plan are required and initiate the corresponding changes
Key benefit of Monitor/Control process group
Project performance is measured and analyzed at regular intervals, appropriate events, or exception conditions to identify variances from PM plan
Within the monitor/control group, what 3 activities are done to the progress and performance of the project?
track, review, orchestrate
Within monitor/control process group, what happens when changes to the plan are identified?
initiate the corresponding changes
To what within the monitor/control process group are tracked, reviewed, and orchestrated?
the progress and performance of the project
What 3 other activities are required within the monitor/control process group
- control changes and recommend corrective/preventative action in anticipation of problems
- monitor ongoing activities against PM plan and performance baseline
- Influence factors that could circumvent integrated change control or config mgmt so only approved changes are implemented
What type of monitoring is needed
continuous
Why is continuous monitoring needed
Provides insight into health of project, identifies focus areas that need additional attention
What span does monitor and control cover? Not just within process group
But also entire project effort
How does monitor/control work in multiphase projects*
Coordinates project phases to implement corrective actions*
What can a review result in
Recommended and approved updates to PM plan, discuss tradeoffs first, management by exception techniques)
What is a key benefit of monitor/controlling process group
project performance is measured and analyzed at regular intervals, appropriate events, or exception conditions to identify variances from the proj mgmt plan
what does the monitor and controlling process involve
- Controlling changes and recommending corrective/preventative action in anticipation of possible problems2. Monitor ongoing project activities against PM plan and the project performance baseline- influence factors that could circumvent integrated change control or configuration management so only approved changes are implemented
What does continuous monitoring process provide?
project team insight into health of project and identifies any areas requiring additional attention
What two things does monitor/control process group do for multi-phase projects?
Continuous project phases in order to implement corrective or preventative actions to bring project into compliance with project management plan
