^ [[9 Monitor & Control]] # 9.1  Monitor Project Performance The purpose of project performance monitoring is to **collect information** about the state of the project’s **progress** and overall health.

This information is then distributed to relevant stakeholders as per the Communications Management Plan. ![[Table 9.1 - Monitor Project Performance - Key Participants.png]] ## Inputs - Project Handbook - Project Work Plan - Project Logs (Risk Log, Issue Log, Decision Log, Project Change Log) - Quality Checklists - Minutes of Meetings (MoMs) - Input from the Contractor’s Project Manager (CPM), if applicable ## Steps 1.
