- 1. How is the project execution phase done? During the Project Execution Phase, the team implements tasks outlined in the Project Plan, focusing on coordination, quality assurance, resource management, and stakeholder updates. Also known as the implementation phase, it demands meticulous oversight from the project manager to ensure adherence to schedules and objectives. Project management software aids in task assignment, resource allocation, team communication, and streamlining processes. Documentation such as Quality Assurance reports, meeting minutes and Work Orders are generated to track progress and maintain accountability. This phase is pivotal for achieving project goals in earlier stages, emphasizing efficient collaboration and utilization of project management tools for successful project delivery. You’ll also likely discover new information that requires revisiting and updating the initial project management plans. Be vigilant with change requests and ensure that the necessary adjustments are made.
