6.0 Project Progress Management | Steering Your Project Toward Success

6.0 Project Progress Management

Once a project kicks off, one of the most critical factors for success is effective progress management.
No matter how solid your plan, tools, or team structure may be, unexpected issues and misalignments are bound to arise during execution.

The key is to detect these gaps early and make timely course corrections while staying aligned with your project goals.
In a way, progress management is like steering a ship through choppy waters—planning is the map, but progress control is the ability to navigate.

In this chapter, we’ll explore practical progress management methods through three perspectives:

1. 6.1 Monitoring Deliverables: How to confirm progress based on actual output and avoid false assumptions of completion
2. 6.2 Issue and Change Management: How to respond to problems and scope changes early and build operational resilience
3. 6.3 Project Reporting: How to align understanding across team members and stakeholders through effective communication

We’ll also include real-world practices using ActionBridge to demonstrate how these concepts work in the field.

Let’s begin with 6.1 Monitoring Deliverables, where we’ll explore how to accurately grasp execution status and create a shared understanding within your team.
