Project Management:Want to Master the Schedule of Your Project's Monitoring and Controlling Phase? If so, you've come to the right place!

While practicing Project Management, when you execute a large project, it is generally divided in five phases: Project Initiation, Project Planning, Project Execution, Project Monitoring and Controlling, and Project Closure. Amongst these five phases, it is said that the Project Monitoring and Controlling phase is the most difficult of all phases. This, Project Monitoring and Controlling phase, is considered difficult because during this phase:

1. You compare your planned work with the actual work that happens in your project

2. You identify deviation between the planned and the actual work

3. And you deploy corrective or preventive actions to minimize the impact of those deviations.

Similarly, every large project has several project management knowledge areas. Of these, Schedule Management is considered a critical knowledge area. According to the Project Management Institute, ineffective Schedule Management is one of the top seven reasons why projects fail. And project managers never want their projects to fail. So, it becomes imperative to effectively manage your project schedule and keep it on-track to achieve the desired project objectives.

These are the reasons why I have created this course which is a complete project management guide that specializes in Monitoring and Controlling your Project Schedule.
