Why Choose Us

The Advanced Monitoring and Evaluation of Projects training course develops a structured framework for designing and applying rigorous project monitoring, evaluation and control systems. It equips project managers, project controls professionals and team leaders to track performance, identify issues and support timely intervention. Participants examine how effective controls turn project plans into practical management tools rather than static documents. The course also supports credible progress reporting and informed decision-making at every organisational level.

Coverage extends from project fundamentals, scope definition and baseline development to risk management, S-curve monitoring, change control and Earned Value Management. Participants also explore KPI selection and project reporting to establish clear, reliable performance visibility. Leadership, team management, negotiation and conflict management are addressed as disciplines that sustain delivery through to project closure. The course is intended for project professionals seeking to progress beyond delivery fundamentals and build the advanced control capabilities required for consistently successful project management.

This Advanced Monitoring and Evaluation of Projects training course will highlight:

  • Defining project scope and developing effective performance baselines
  • Planning rigorous project monitoring, evaluation and control systems
  • Managing project risks and controlling changes throughout delivery
  • Designing S-curves and applying Earned Value Management
  • Selecting relevant KPIs and producing credible project reports
  • Leading teams, managing conflict and capturing lessons learned at closure

Course Goals

What are the Goals?

The Advanced Monitoring and Evaluation of Projects Course aims to build comprehensive capabilities in project monitoring, evaluation, and control, covering project fundamentals and planning, risk management, performance measurement, reporting, and project closure.

Upon completing this course, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the relationship between organisational vision, mission, and strategy and the project context, and apply disciplines for project initiation and scope definition
  • Describe how project success is assessed and evaluate the environmental factors influencing project performance
  • Use project planning principles, including defining and sequencing work, estimating duration, applying acceleration techniques, and using tools to communicate the plan
  • Calculate project costs and use risk management processes, tools, and techniques in project planning
  • Develop project monitoring and control systems with S-curves, and implement change control systems and project auditing disciplines
  • Define project baselines to provide the basis for measuring performance
  • Implement project control systems and choose suitable KPIs to monitor project performance
  • Use Earned Value Management to track project performance, assess achievements, and prepare progress reports
  • Oversee the handover of projects to operations using appropriate control disciplines
  • Use project team building, leadership, negotiation, delegation, conflict management, and lessons learned disciplines during project closure

Learning Approach

How will this Training Course be Presented?

The Advanced Monitoring and Evaluation of Projects Course uses a structured, control-centred learning approach, progressing from project fundamentals and planning to risk management, monitoring system design, EVM implementation, reporting, and project closure. Each day builds directly upon the preceding one, enabling delegates to develop an integrated understanding of how planning disciplines, baseline management, risk management, and EVM operate together as a complete project control system.

Practical discussions on planning, S-curve design sessions, EVM application exercises, KPI development sessions, and leadership discussions are incorporated throughout, helping delegates relate monitoring and evaluation frameworks to the actual project control challenges encountered within their organisations.

Methods of delivery include:

  • Instructor-led sessions addressing project fundamentals, planning principles, risk management, EVM, reporting, and leadership
  • Discussions on project initiation and scope definition that apply strategic alignment and analysis of the project context
  • Planning and scheduling sessions that apply work definition, sequencing, duration estimation, and tools for communicating plans
  • Leadership and closure sessions that apply team building, negotiation, conflict management, and lessons learned disciplines

Frequently Asked Questions

This course focuses on advanced approaches to monitoring and evaluating projects. It addresses how project performance can be assessed with greater confidence. The emphasis is on supporting confident performance levels for projects.
The course develops skills related to monitoring project performance and evaluating project results. Its advanced focus suggests deeper engagement with performance assessment rather than a basic introduction. The intended outcome is greater confidence when addressing project performance levels.
Yes, the course explicitly covers both monitoring and evaluation of projects. Monitoring relates to examining project performance, while evaluation addresses how project performance or results are assessed. The detailed balance between these two areas is not provided.
The course is presented as advanced rather than introductory. It is therefore focused on higher-level monitoring and evaluation of projects, with an emphasis on confident performance levels. The available information does not specify prerequisite knowledge or prior experience.
You will learn about advanced monitoring and evaluation in a project context. The course is centred on understanding and assessing project performance. Specific methods, tools and topics are not stated in the available course information.
Yes, project performance is a central focus of the course. The subtitle, “Delivering Confident Performance Levels for your Projects,” connects monitoring and evaluation directly with confidence in project performance. The available information does not define particular performance measures or frameworks.
This course is relevant to people seeking advanced knowledge of project monitoring, evaluation and performance. It may suit professionals whose work involves assessing or supporting projects. Specific job roles, entry requirements and required experience are not stated in the course information.
