5Managing the Project

Q:How does a project get to be three years late? (with a nod to Frederik Brooks, author of The Mythical Man Month)
A:One day at a time.

• Monitor the project schedule for new course development, course acquisition, or contracted training projects.

• Adjust the project schedule with actual status results in order to manage the project schedule and resource allocation.
