In this lesson we discuss:

Progress is all about how to control the project and know where you are against the current Plan . Each company and Project Manager will have different ideas on how best to do this. If you are Project Manager in a company the one good question to ask your Project Board is How do I best keep you informed of the progress of the project? The answer to this question will tell you a lot about the maturity of project control in the organisation.

At the end of this lesson you will be expected to explain the purpose of the following:
