Most projects will require that you adjust the plan as you go along. The changes will often impact all three constraints of scope, cost, and schedule, which are sometimes referred to as the “triple constraint” or “project management triangle.” Before a changed project can continue, sponsors and stakeholders must approve the changes and the team must understand what is different.
This course gives you the skills to analyze, document, and communicate project change effectively. At the end of this course, you should be able to:
+ Describe all aspects of a project that need monitoring and controlling.+ Identify specific ways monitoring and controlling can be accomplished.+ Express the advantages of early detection and correction for project metric (scope, schedule, and costs) variations.+ Develop a monitoring and controlling approach.
