Stage 4: Implementing and Tracking the Project

The project design team may also implement the project, possibly with the help of additional personnel. A trial or test implementation may be used to check out the project design and outputs to determine if they meet the project objectives.

Using the planned reporting methods, the implementation team monitors the project and reports on its status to appropriate interested parties at designated project milestones. Measurements of interim results may also be communicated to interested parties. The implementation team makes any course corrections and trade-offs that may be necessary and are approved.
