Monitoring, Controlling, and Closing Programs

Overview/Description
Monitoring and controlling is an essential feature of program management, which allows you to ascertain the current benefit delivery status, ensure adequate resources are in place, and that changes are properly managed. Closing a program is a time for celebration. However, to be successful and ensure program benefits are achieved, monitoring, controlling, and closing processes must be followed. Such activities require a great effort on the part of the program team and all others involved.

This course is designed to help program managers understand the processes that support the Monitoring and Controlling and Closing process groups.
