Monitor Progress and Manage Resources

Document the projects that have committed resources and communicate the status of lower priority projects with insufficient resources. Make resource allocation decisions visible, and ensure that sponsors, stakeholders, and team members accept the scheduling decisions.

Track project work by project, and protect work on the highest priority projects.

Manage changes through integrated change control, and ensure that the priorities of scheduled work are kept current.

Update the resource profiles and list of current projects periodically, to reflect staffing changes, new project requests, and completed projects.
