Execution Phase : Tracking

• Track progress on tasks so you know when tasks are actually completed by their assigned resources.

2009

Execution Phase: Analyzing

+Examine any differences between your original plan and how it’s actually progressing. +Monitor the differences in schedule or cost to anticipate any potential problems.

2009

Execution Phase: Controlling

Take any necessary corrective actions to keep the project on track toward completion on time and within budget.

2009

Execution Phase: Reporting

Keep stakeholders informed. Whether you’re providing the big picture to your project team or high-level progress information to executives, you should regularly report various aspects of project information.

Baselines - general

• The original project plan, adjusted to perfection, is considered the “baseline”. It is the ideal balance between scope, schedule and cost. This plan is usually agreed on by stakeholders before project begins execution.

• The best time to save this baseline is when the plan has been developed as fully as possible, but before you have started tracking.

Baselines – fields saved

A baseline is a snapshot of key scheduling and cost information in your project plan at a specific point in time, fields saved are:• Start• Finish• Duration• Work• Cost

2009

What do we track?

• Estimated size versus actual size• Predicted work completed versus actual

work completed• Planned dates versus actual dates• Expected resources versus actual

resources• New or changed requirements

2009

What do we track?

• Any project can be off the expected plan for multiple reasons.

• Each reason may require a different solution and often the wrong solution will only make the problem worse.

• Metrics help provide information on what the specific problem is.
