Project Monitoring & Control Templates – Performance Word Pack
$19.00
Description
A complete set of five project monitoring templates, aligned to PMBOK best practice and ready to use in Microsoft Word — the documents that tell you whether a project is actually on track: performance reporting, variance analysis, earned value, risk audit and product acceptance.
Monitoring and controlling is the phase that answers one question, continuously: is the project going to plan, and if not, by how much? A project without proper measurement is flying blind — problems are noticed too late, budget overruns surface only when the money’s gone, and slippage compounds unseen. These project monitoring templates give you the instruments to see the true state of the project at any moment, and to act while there’s still time to correct course.
This is the Monitoring & Controlling phase of our five-phase project management template library. It maps to the PMBOK Monitoring and Controlling process group and covers the core of project control: measuring performance against the baseline, analysing where and why reality diverges from the plan, and formally accepting the deliverables the project produces.
Each template is more than a blank form. Every one carries built-in explanatory text describing what the section is for and how to complete it — so even someone new to formal project management can measure and control a project professionally from the first use.
The Five Monitoring & Control Templates
| Project Performance Report | The periodic status report that communicates progress, health and key metrics to stakeholders |
| Variance Analysis | A structured comparison of planned versus actual, identifying where the project has drifted and why |
| Earned Value Status Report | The earned value measurement that quantifies schedule and cost performance in a single, comparable framework |
| Risk Audit | A review of whether identified risks are being managed and whether new ones have emerged |
| Product Acceptance | The formal sign-off that a deliverable meets its acceptance criteria and can be approved |
Earned Value, Made Practical
The standout in this pack is the Earned Value Status Report. Earned value is the most rigorous way to answer “are we on track?” — because it measures schedule and cost performance against work actually completed, not just time elapsed or money spent. It’s also the technique many project managers find most intimidating. This template makes it approachable, with the structure and guidance to produce a credible earned value report without needing to have memorised the formulae first. It’s the single most powerful control instrument in the phase, made usable.

- Consultants and contractors who need control and reporting documents ready on day one
- PMP candidates and students learning earned value and the PMBOK controlling artefacts hands-on
- Programme sponsors and stakeholders who want a clear, consistent view of project status
