Important questions to ask when evaluating projects:
• Is the project on schedule?
• Is it within the allocated budget?
• Have the milestones been achieved?
• If not, what action has been taken to correct
the situation?

Monitoring Involves:
1. The time spent on project tasks.
2. The resources used (people, materials and
equipment).
3. Compliance with applicable quality
standards.

Possible actions that can be taken to rectify problems:
1. Split key stages to avoid each following another in sequence when there is no necessity to have one in place before the next.
2. Re-evaluate dependencies in your logic diagram.
3. Make use of slack time to speed up tasks.
4. Minimise duplication of effort.
5. Renegotiate lengthened time scales if an unanticipated problem caused delay that cannot be recovered.
6. Decrease staff to increase other resources.

2 Questions!!!
Do our cost calculations correctly reflect reality of the project?
Do our cost values effectively represent the effort which was spent to execute the project?

Problems in project cost measurement:
• There is no way to directly measure project costs.• Project cost measurement is always an indirect
process, sometimes very indirect.• Behind project cost measurement are human
beings who can make mistakes and misinterpret the rules.
• In worst cases, there could be humans who have an interest in distorting cost values.

needs of the project and works to the best of
their ability.
2. You get the information you need to help you
monitor and control project tasks.
3. The stakeholders respond positively to the
progress of the project, and remain committed
to its success. www.derekhendrikz.com

Managing Conflict:
Treat conflict as a perceptual difference.
Place your own assumptions on ice.
‘First seek to understand – then to be
understood’.
Separate people from problems.
Go for win-win solutions.
