Assignment:
Monitoring Tasks
The project manager is responsible for monitoring the completion and progress of tasks for the entire project. Based on the tasks defined in your timeline, develop a plan to monitor task completion. For instance, what activities will you set to communicate the completion and progress of tasks (i.e., weekly meetings, committee meetings, email updates, etc.)?
1. Hypothetically, assign estimates of completion and/or progress to each task.
2. Summarize the differences in estimated completion and actual completion.
o If the actual start or finish dates are later than originally estimated, select factors that may have caused a delay and evaluate the importance of the factors to the delay.
3. Discuss how monitoring tasks contribute to the successful completion of tasks and proactively addressing tasks that are behind schedule.
4. Outline the activities planned to communicate the completion and progress of tasks.
