Project management involves planning, organizing, and managing resources to successfully complete specific business goals within constraints of time, cost and scope. The project life cycle includes initiation, planning, execution, monitoring/control and completion phases. Key aspects that must be managed include defining objectives, sequencing activities, evaluating techniques like PERT and Gantt charts, coordinating resources, and monitoring performance against the plan to control deviations.

- 11. • Monitoring – collecting, recording, and reporting information concerning project performance that project manger and others wish to know • Controlling – uses data from monitor activity to bring actual performance to planned performance
- 12. • Why do we monitor? To detect and react appropriately to deviations and changes to plans • What do we monitor? Men (human resources), Machines, Materials, Money, Space Time, Tasks, Quality/Technical Performance • When to we monitor? End of the project Continuously Regularly Depends •How do we monitor? Meeting, Test, Etc.
