Monitor & Control activities run throughout the duration of the project, but **peak during the Executing Phase**. **All project management processes** are executed as part of the Monitor & Control process group. The Monitor & Control activities are carried out based on the processes described in the **Project Management Plans** developed during the Planning Phase. The effective execution of these processes is ultimately the **responsibility** of the Project Manager (**PM**). ## Manage - ==Execute all management processes== defined in the Project Management Plans, and manage the outsourcing, transition, business implementation and deliverables acceptance activities as per the relevant Project Specific Plans. ## Monitor - Monitor project **activities** and overall [[project performance]]. - Track the project performance against the [[baseline]] in order to facilitate reporting and controlling. ## Control - Devise, plan, propose and implement [[corrective actions]] to address existing or potential performance **risks or issues**, while ==updating the relevant project plans and logs==. ![[Fig 9.1 Monitor & Control activities and main artefacts.png]] Monitor & Control artefacts comprise the Project Work Plan as well as a range of Project **Logs and Checklists**. The Project Logs are regularly updated as new information becomes available (e.g. new issues can arise and new information can be added to the [[Issue Log]]). There are several Checklists that can be used to help the Project Manager (PM) control the project better. ## PM2 provides the following Checklists: - **Phase-exit** Review Checklist - **Quality** Review Checklist - **Deliverables Acceptance** Checklist - **Transition** Checklist - **Stakeholders** Checklist - **Business Implementation** Checklist ___ 🔼 [[PM2 Chapters]] ◀️ [[8 Closing Phase]] ▶️ [[9.1 Monitor Project Performance]] Spanish Guide: [[9 Seguimiento y Control]] ___ ![[👉 Quick links]]
