Definition

Construction is the process of creating and building a
facility or infrastructure. It differs from manufacturing in
that manufacturing typically involves mass production of
similar items without a designated purchaser, while
construction is typically done on location for a known
client.

Project Management and PM Processes

Project management is accomplished through the appropriate
application and integration of the 47 logically grouped project
management processes (PMBOK 2013).

A process is a set of interrelated actions and activities
performed to create a pre-specified product, service, or result.
Each process is characterized by its inputs, the tools and
techniques that can be applied, and the resulting outputs.

Project Monitor and Control

 Monitor and Control Project Work is the process of tracking,
reviewing, and reporting the progress to meet the performance
objectives defined in the project management plan.
 The key benefit of this process is that it allows stakeholders to
understand the current state of the project, the actions taken, and
budget, schedule, and scope forecasts.
 Control Function:

Control = Monitor + Compare + Analysis + Action

 Monitoring includes collecting, measuring, and distributing
performance information, and assessing measurements and trends to
effect process improvements.
 The main feature of control is action to correct performance
deviations and to insure that expected results are forthcoming.
