Advanced Monitoring and Evaluation of Projects

Monitoring and Evaluation of Projects Training is essential for ensuring that every component within a project works together to deliver the expected results. Even minor breakdowns in activities can cause costly delays, financial losses, and frustration for project managers and sponsors. This training course addresses these challenges by equipping professionals with the knowledge and techniques needed to track performance accurately, assess progress, and evaluate outcomes with confidence.

During this Monitoring and Evaluation of Projects Course, participants will explore the foundations of project monitoring, including establishing baselines, defining project success, and identifying the metrics that truly reflect performance. As projects move into execution, leaders must rely on the right combination of tools, controls, and soft skills to keep teams aligned, stakeholders informed, and deliverables on track.

This Monitoring and Evaluation of Projects Training Course also highlights the importance of leadership behaviours such as influence, negotiation, and communication. These interpersonal skills work hand-in-hand with technical control methods, enabling project managers to guide teams effectively, address emerging risks, and maintain clear reporting mechanisms throughout the project lifecycle.

This Monitoring and Evaluation of Projects Course provides participants with a complete understanding of how to plan, monitor, measure, and control project performance using structured methods and practical tools. The course aligns technical planning skills with the soft skills needed to lead teams and influence successful delivery.
