Execution and Monitoring: Keeping Projects on Track
The execution and monitoring phase ensures that project activities are carried out efficiently while tracking progress and managing risks. Project Timelines (Gantt Charts) provide a visual representation of key tasks and milestones, helping teams stay on schedule. Tools like Kanban Boards offer real-time tracking of work in progress, improving task management and team capacity planning. A Change Request Log ensures that scope modifications are documented, evaluated, and approved in a controlled manner, preventing unnecessary disruptions. To avoid Scope Creep, a structured change management process is implemented, requiring stakeholder approvals for any new requests to keep projects aligned with their original objectives.
Risk management is critical during execution, and a Risk Register helps track potential issues, assess their impact, and implement mitigation strategies. Regular Knowledge Sharing Sessions facilitate collaboration, ensuring that important insights and updates are shared across teams, reducing knowledge gaps. By utilizing structured tracking, controlled change management, and proactive risk monitoring, organizations can maintain focus and successfully execute projects within scope, time, and budget.
