Project Oversight

When it comes to the end of a project and the project management team

evaluates the project the team must look at all the factors that impacted the project

positive and negatively. During the project there needs to be an oversight committee

that monitors the issues that can negatively affect the project. This committee will

monitor the risks, negative issues, budget problems and decisions. When the oversight

committee finds one of these issues it can and will impact the organization and the

project manager.

After the project is completed the oversight committee can review the issues and

record how they effected the project so that the next project plan can incorporate these

issues so the new projects will not be impacted by the same types of issues. The

project oversight helps develop a plan for the execution of a project. If the oversight is

not done efficiently then the project can be put under greater risk.

Then the responsibility of a project is assigned to the manager of the project.

Goodpasture, J (2014) says, Successful projects are relatively easy to identify; we

usually know them when we see them. The oversight that has to be done gives the

planners the issues that they may not see before they start the project and identify the

issues that can affect the budget.

The last area that oversight of a project will do is maintain the records of the

particulars of the project. Maylor, Turner, Murray and Webster (2013) says, it records all

the problem, risks that were faced during the project. These records can help with all

future projects whether the projects are similar in the types of work that is being done or

not. The major area that makes project oversight so crucial is that it makes the planning

teams keep in mind not only the known risks but the unknown or unseen factors that

may have come up with the plan.

In conclusion the project oversight of current projects are just as important for the

current projects as well as the future projects. If the project is not monitored from the

start to the end issues may not be identified soon enough so the budget will not be

impacted as much.
