Project Assignment 3
For this week you will return into the Planview Daptiv PPM tool and continue working on the project that you created in
prior weeks. As a project goes through the execution phase, project control is critical to ensure that a project stays
within the constraints of time, cost, and scope. A project manager will use different monitoring techniques to help keep
the project within these constraints. If a project incurs changes, becomes delayed, or costs become higher, a project
manager will execute change control to document and determine how to handle the change.
Once a project is completed, the project team should complete a final project report, which is the administrative record
of the completed project, which identifies all its functional and technical components as well as other important project
history. It includes all the strengths and weaknesses of the project as it progressed and offers a final assessment of what
went right (or wrong) throughout the life of the project. It is essentially a “lessons learned” document of the project.
