Project Monitoring & Evaluation Plan
Project managers must monitor and evaluate their projects for progress and quality. Project management requires managers and their teams to devise a project schedule that outlines all of the specific phases and tasks to perform in order to carry out the project.

Gantt Chart
-
A Gantt chart is a time management tool that project managers use to monitor the progress of their teams' projects. Once a project schedule is completed, the phases and tasks are input into a Gantt chart, which is a horizontal bar chart. Each phase or task is assigned its own bar, which represents when the activity must begin and end. This allows project managers to manage projects visually.
Milestone Charts
-
Milestone charts are project management tools that tell managers if a project is running on time. Milestone charts track the progress that is made on the project by measuring the progress against key markers that exhibit how far along the project should be at a certain point in time. Project managers use milestone charts to predict whether they will need more time (and therefore more money and resources) to complete a project.

Evaluation Plans
-
Throughout the course of monitoring a project, project managers keep evaluation plans to document how far along, or behind, the project is. An evaluation plan is useful for highlighting the points in a project that were successful and why, so that project managers can use the same technique the next time.
