Direct and Manage Project Execution is the process of fulfilling the work
defined in the project management plan to accomplish the projects
objectives. These activities comprise, but are not restricted to:
Staff, train, and manage the team members assigned to the project
The project manager, along with the project management team, directs the
performance of the planned project activities, and manages the different
technical and organizational interfaces that are present within the project.
The Direct and Manage Project Execution process is directly affected by the
project application area. Deliverables are produced as outputs from
processes performed to achieve the project work planned and scheduled in
the project management plan. Work performance information, regarding the
completion status of the deliverables and what has been completed, is
gathered as part of project execution and is fed into the performance
The Direct and Manage Project Execution process also needs implementation
of approved changes covering:
Typically a change control status update will specify the changes that have
been approved and the ones that havent been approved as part of the
Perform Integrated Change Control process. Approved change requests are
scheduled for implementation by the corresponding project team. Approved
change requests are the documented, authorized changes to broaden or
shorten project scope. The approved change requests can also modify
policies, costs, or budgets, the project management plan, procedures; or
revise schedules. Typically approved change requests may require
implementation of preventive or corrective actions.
The enterprise environmental factors which can impact the Direct and
Manage Project Execution process comprise, but are not restricted to:
The organizational process assets that can influence the Direct and Manage
Project Execution
Project files from prior projects (e.g., scope, cost, schedule, performance
measurement baselines, project schedule, project calendars, network
diagrams, risk registers, planned response actions, and defined risk
impact)
Expert judgment is used to evaluate the inputs needed to direct and manage
execution of the project management plan. Such judgment and competence
is applied to all technical and management details during this process. This
competence is provided by the project manager along with the project
management team using specialized knowledge or training. Additional
competencies are available from many sources, including:
Consultants
This refers to the information from project activities which are routinely
gathered as the project progresses. This information can be related to
various performance results that comprise, but are not restricted to:
Deliverable status
Costs incurred
3. Change Requests
When project staff find issues while project tasks and activities are being
performed, change requests are generated which in turn may alter project
policies or procedures, project cost and budget, project scope, project quality
or project schedule. The remaining change requests
Project baselines
Project documents that may be updated comprise, but are not restricted to:
Stakeholder register
Risk register
Requirements documents
Monitor and Control Project Work process consists of tracking, reviewing, and
regulating the progress to meet the performance goals specified in the
project management plan. Monitoring is a characteristic of project
management executed throughout the project. Monitoring includes
gathering, measuring, and distributing performance information, and
evaluating measurements and patterns to implement process improvements.
Progressive monitoring gives the project management team insight into the
condition of the project, and identifies areas that would require focused
attention. Control includes determining preventive or corrective actions,
planning iterations, and following up on action plans to verify if the actions
taken rectified the performance issue. The Monitor and Control Project Work
process is concerned with:
2. Performance Reports
Current status
Scheduled activities
Issues
Forecasts

3. Enterprise Environmental Factors
The enterprise environmental factors that can affect the Monitor and Control
Project Work
The organizational process assets that can affect the Monitor and Control
Project Work process comprise but are not restricted to:
and products
Project management plan elements that may be updated comprise, but are
not restricted to:
Schedule baseline
Scope baseline
Project documents that may be updated comprise, but are not restricted to:

Assignments
1. What are Change requests and how are they used as a tool to speed up
the accuracy and volume of product and/or service rendered by a company?
A document which contains a call to action for a change in the system used
to generate a product or service, when the product or service needs to be
modified to suit the customer or client requirement. This is mostly done by
issuing a change order which details the actions to be undertaken to fulfil the
goal of a change request. For example when the metal shims produced by an
aerospace manufacturer are a few millimetres over required measurement, a
change order will be issued to send the shims back to assembly line to be
ground into measurement.
The Risk Matrix is a tool employed in Risk Assessment during the Qualitative
Risk Analysis phase in the risk management process. This is used by senior
management to improve risk visibility and awareness of the said risks to
arrive at good decisions on tackling tangible risk.
