Project Monitoring and Control is the systematic process of tracking a project's progress, comparing it against the planned objectives, and taking corrective actions when necessary. Think of it as the captain of a ship constantly checking the course, speed, and weather conditions to ensure the vessel reaches its destination safely and on time. This critical phase runs in parallel with project execution, forming a continuous feedback loop that helps teams stay aligned with project goals. It involves observing and tracking the progress of a project and making proactive corrections to ensure it stays on track and within budget.
