Controlling is the final function of management. Its purpose is to create ways to monitor and track the progress of goals. This means that the activities in controlling have a very close relationship to the decisions made in planning. For this week's course project, you will be using a template to track and measure the goals you created in the planning portion of the course project.
In order to complete this assignment, you will need to revise the two SMART goals you created in week four, and then design control methods for them. If you've forgotten what these SMART goals are, your planning assignment can be accessed by going back to the module four course project page and clicking the file at the very bottom. This will pull up your submission.
Download the control template in the resources section below and complete the following:
