pls use the above paper as a reference to write a new paper Monitor and Control NR632: Nurse Executive Concluding Graduate Experience II Monitor and Control Once, the project execution phase gets underway, the project monitoring and controlling phase also kicks in. Monitoring and Controlling are processes needed to track, review, and regulate the progress and performance of the project. It also identifies any areas where changes to the project management method is required and initiates the required changes. Monitoring is observing and recording activities taking place in a project. It is a process of collecting information on all aspects of the project. To monitor is to check on how the project activities are progressing. As per Silvius (2017), it is a systematic and purposeful process. In addition, monitoring also involves providing feedback about the progress of the project to the stakeholders. Monitoring is crucial in project planning and implementation. Controlling is gathering and analyzing project data to keep costs and schedules on track. According to Sharma (2018), the functions of project controls include initiating, planning, monitoring, and controlling, communicating, and closing out project costs and schedule. Ultimately, project controls are iterative processes for measuring project status, forecasting likely outcomes based on those measurements and then improving project performance. During this crucial control and monitoring phase, it is necessary to keep a schedule, stay within the budget, avoid scope creep, and manage risk. Conclusion Monitoring and controlling are a crucial phase of the project. Monitoring and controlling keeps the project on schedule. Monitor change, keep track of scope, control costs, quality, and risk, facilitate communication, are necessary processes that need to be prioritized while monitoring and controlling. Adequately monitoring and controlling the progress of the project makes the project successful. References Pollack, Helm, J., & Adler, D. (2018). What is the Iron Triangle, and how has it changed?
