Monitor and control the delivery of an IT project

IT Project Management involves the competencies required to plan, execute and deliver, monitor and control all the activities and tasks required during an IT project to meet its stated objectives.

This standard concerns monitoring and controlling IT project execution to keep the project on track and taking corrective actions as required. This requires the project manager to act when the tolerances (time, cost, quality) are at risk of being exceeded. This includes checking project progress toward meeting its objectives, determining the cause of deviations from the plan and taking corrective actions to address deviations.

4. Re-plan the schedule of activities and/or allocate additional resources to maintain the project within tolerance limits
5. Manage agreed project changes in line with change control procedures
6. Monitor project income and expenditure to ensure project remains within budget
7. Assess project risks and take action to mitigate their impact on project outcomes
8. Deliver the IT benefits for the project in line with customer and stakeholder requirements
