14.0 Monitoring

The delivery of the project outputs within the GIF framework will be monitored on a weekly basis by the Internal Gateway Working Group. This will form the basis of a report to the Gateway Steering Committee and the Interdepartmental GIF Team.

Each individual project has a plan in place which sets out the key deliverables, targets and timescales. This plan will form the basis for the monitoring and analysis.

Each plan will be monitored using the following criteria:

1. Monitor project actions and deliverables against plan including:

• Project Planning parameters
• Commitments
• Project Risks
• Data Management
• Stakeholder involvement
• Progress reviews
• Milestone reviews

2. Manage corrective action by:

• Analysing issues
• Taking corrective action
• Managing corrective action

3. Monitor the project’s cost and expended effort:

• Measure the actual effort and cost expended and staff assigned
• Compare actual effort, costs, staffing to the estimates and budgets documented in the project plan
• Identify significant deviations from the budgets in the project plan
