Explanatory Notes:
Project performance must be monitored and measured regularly to identify variances from the plan. Variances are fed into the control processes in the various knowledge areas. To the extent that significant variances are observed (i.e., those that jeopardize the project objectives), adjustments to the plan are made by repeating the appropriate project planning processes. For example, a missed activity finish date may require adjustments to the current staffing plan, reliance on overtime, or tradeoffs between budget and schedule objectives. Controlling also includes taking preventive action in anticipation of possible problems. The controlling process group contains core processes and facilitating processes:
• Integrated Change Control—coordinating changes across the entire project;
• Scope Verification—formalizing acceptance of the project scope;
• Scope Change Control—controlling changes to project scope;
• Schedule Control—controlling changes to the project schedule;
• Cost Control—controlling changes to the project budget;
• Quality Control—monitoring specific project results to determine if they comply with relevant quality standards and identifying ways to eliminate causes of unsatisfactory performance;
• Performance Reporting—collecting and disseminating performance information. This includes status reporting, progress measurement, and forecasting;
• Risk Monitoring and Control—keeping track of identified risks, monitoring residual risks and identifying new risks, ensuring the execution of risk plans, and evaluating their effectiveness in reducing risk. Project Integration Management
