Follow Up

What is Follow Up?

Follow-up is a general method for controlling and monitoring the progress of project work to ensure that it is completed on time, on budget, and according to specifications. It determines project success based on feedback on costs, schedules, requirements, staff performance, and other essential variables.

Following up on your project allows you to close the gap between planning and execution of current and future projects. This procedure not only determines and anticipates the project’s outcomes, but also allows your firm to assess the unfavorable implications. With six simple steps, you may launch a follow-up monitoring program at your organization.

The process of Follow-Up helps in achieving this goal by performing the following 6 steps:

• Managing variances to confirm there is no instability in the ongoing tasks 
• Controlling the scope, thereby ensuring tasks are performed within boundaries
• Monitoring expenses to avoid cost overruns and budget failure respectively.
• Responding to risks and failures to keep the project feasible and effective
• Assuring the quality of the deliverables to ensure customer acceptance
• Controlling schedules of tasks to prevent delay and procrastination

The project follow-up process begins with the start of project activities, continues during project execution, and concludes with the achievement of project objectives. Project delivery management is another term for this procedure.
