Project Life Management: How to implement real life efficiencies in your professional world. Part V: How was your day dear?
by Brian Maddox on Aug.31, 2009, under Communications, Cost, General, Human Resources, Procurement, Project Management, Quality, Scope, Time
Throughout the day, you monitor the activities that are taking place and needing to take place. You run through your mental checklist of the day’s activities ensuring that nothing has been missed. You recall that you need to purchase the latest postal stamps and you immediately allocate the money (plus tax) necessary to procure them.
You purchase the stamps, pick up the kids from their activities and proceed home to cook dinner and get the kids prepared for bed. As you, your spouse and kids sit down at the dinner table, you and your spouse talk about your day; what went good, what went bad, and what could be improved in the future.
The PMBOK© 4th Edition identifies these project monitoring and controlling processes:
4.4 – Monitor and Control Project Work
4.5 – Perform Integrated Change Control
5.4 – Verify Scope
7.3 – Control Costs
10.5 – Performance Report
Tune in to PMAdvocate.com for Part VI: Is Conan On Yet?, where I compare how, at the very lowest level, our days can be divided up into a series of activities and how the performance of those activities compare to PMI’s Closing processes.
