Project Management Phase 4 – 5

Phase 4 - Control

60 Hours

The primary purpose of the Monitor & Control Phase is to compare and verify deliverables against the project plan and the requirements. These activities are performed throughout the project; however, the majority of this work is done concurrently with the Execute Phase. Risk and Change Management Plans developed during the Plan Phase are put to use now to ensure the success of the project. At times, during this Phase, our Project Managers may find that a given risk or problem forces revisiting the Plan Phase because of unforeseen risks or issues that come up that may make the project, as planned, unable to reach completion.

If deviations from the project plan are detected, corrective and preventative actions are recommended by our team to bring the project back into alignment with the project plan. Any changes to the configuration of a deliverable or to the baseline elements of the project plan must be made with great deliberation to safeguard a successful project outcome.

Phase 5 - Closure

60 Hours

Transferring deliverables for a project includes handing off promised goods and associated documentation, as well as providing agreed upon services. Our team will make sure you are satisfied with all project management phases, including the final product, which we are required to deliver on everything promised as part of the contract. Transfer of deliverables also occurs throughout the project life cycle, depending on milestones and the terms of the contract. However, before final closure can take place, we deliver everything you need to move forward using the product or service we have promised.

Perhaps the most important part of the project management closure phase is getting everyone involved to sign off on completion of contracts. This signifies that everyone involved agrees that all work has been delivered, that all invoices have been paid, that all objectives have been met and that each party is satisfied that the contract has been fulfilled.
