Which project management process group includes tracking, reviewing, and regulating the progress and performance of the project?

• A. Initiating
• B. Planning
• C. Executing
• D. Monitoring & Controlling

Answer: (D)

Monitoring and Controlling is the process group that includes tracking, reviewing, and regulating progress and performance. It involves comparing actual performance to the project management plan, analyzing variances, and taking corrective actions to keep the project on track. It also covers integrated change control, so changes to scope, schedule, cost, or other baselines are assessed and authorized as needed. This group is ongoing throughout the project to ensure work aligns with objectives and to adjust when necessary. In contrast, initiating sets up the project, planning establishes baselines and the roadmap, executing carries out the work, and closing finalizes activities.
