Module 4: Project Execution, Monitoring and Controlling, Change Management and Closure Phase.

Module Overview

Project management involves a series of steps that involve various activities. Each phase takes a different amount of time to complete based on the nature of the project. However, in any project, the execution stage consumes more time than the other steps. This is because the execution phase is the culmination of the project management processes. All the initial stages prepare the team for what will happen at this level. During the execution phase, things begin to go wrong, and the entire project could crumble. This stage involves performing the tasks in the project plan and following upon them. No matter how well the team prepares, there will always be issues during execution. The only way to ensure the process runs smoothly is to ensure people are correctly managed and information is distributed appropriately. This phase puts to test the leadership skills of PMs. If one manages to keep a cool head to the end of this stage, they are likely to emerge victoriously. At the end of this phase, deliverables are provided to clients or sponsors, and the team is rewarded.
