During performance, the project teamís and, specifically, the project managerís focus now shifts from - discovery to tracking and reviewing what was said would be done. This information is generally provided in the form of:  \n• Written status reports.  \n• Updates to the schedule--plan versus actual.  \n• Financial Analysis, including the comparison of actual costs versus planned costs and variance measurements.  \n• Exception Report.  \nMost of the methods for acquiring information pertaining to the project comes from the project team and from the processes used to keep the plan current. This section deals specifically with the elements of tracking and monitoring. The purpose is to track all four of the major project variables--performance, cost, time, and scope.  \nReviewing, which goes hand-in-hand with tracking and monitoring, is discussed in the Project Reviewing section. Other critical management processes during performance are: change, issue, and risk management. These processes are also addressed other sections.  \nTo begin the tracking process, a starting place is needed. The project plan serves as this place. Even an imperfect project plan is useful because it can serve as a place to start. The recommendations contained in this document serve as the minimum set of planned elements that are to be tracked and monitored over the lifetime of the project. This list should be augmented and tailored for each specific project.  \nIt should be noted that part of the planning was to acknowledge which elements were to be tracked and how often they were to be tracked. Thus, the planning process dovetails with the tracking process to provide a practical, workable method to evaluate where a project stands at a given point in time with regard to the initial baselined plan.  \nThe concept of a ìperfectî plan and final fixed strategies is an illusion and not what determines project success. Plans are living documents that change as the environment of the project changes. In the new world of information technology, success is dependent on strategies, project resources, and people. Focus should be on monitoring and directing these dynamic elements and not on hard-and-fast precepts. The project manager must be able to produce a product based on the project plan.  \nThe Project Plan asthe Baseline  \nWhy Tracking and Monitoring?  \nThe key elements in the project plan that are needed for tracking include:  \n• Scope of Work.  \n• Project Functional Specifications and other documents.  \n• Success factors.  \n• Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) -- activity list and activity network.  \n• Work packages, if developed. Many project teams will develop work packages for critical path tasks to develop an additional level of detail.  \n• Budgets and Estimates, along with the assumptions on which they were based.  \n• Master and supporting schedules.  \n• Financial and funding plans.  \n• Quality and Configuration Management Plans.  \n• Stakeholder Analysis, including senior management and clients.  \nEven very large projects can be controlled if adequate time is spent planning and decomposing activities. The best way to simplify a complex project is to disconnect its parts so the parts do not get out of control and have adverse effects on each other.  \nThe management functions of tracking and monitoring are indispensable to the effective and efficient control of the project. In this methodology, tracking is defined as the fact-finding processes, and monitoring is the analysis of these facts. Both are needed for the management of the project.  \nControl processes are established not to determine what has happened, but rather to predict what may happen in the future if the present conditions continue.  \nEach project team consistently compar","cbCaimDN8heaTCEs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimDN8heaTCEs","pdf",774457,29,"English","# Introduction to Project Tracking and Reviewing\n## The Project Plan as the Road Map\n## The Project Plan as the Baseline\n## Why Tracking and Monitoring?\n## How and What is to be Tracked?\n## Tracking and Monitoring Project Performance","[{\"question\":\"When does project tracking and reviewing become essential?\",\"answer\":\"After the project advances into the performance phase, when consistent information about real status is required for effective management.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the four major project variables that tracking aims to cover?\",\"answer\":\"Tracking is used to monitor performance, cost, time, and scope across the project lifecycle.\"},{\"question\":\"How are tracking and monitoring defined in this document?\",\"answer\":\"Tracking is defined as fact-finding processes, while monitoring is the analysis of those facts to support project control.\"}]","Project-Tracking-Template - Project Tracking and Reviewing | PDF",1789217958,10]
