PMI® Quality Community of Practice: Our mission is to increase members understanding of Project Management Quality by exploring the Quality Processes as defined in the PMBOK and encouraging members to network by sharing experiences, knowledge and tools.

Monitoring is the systematic supervision of activities in progress to ensure that they are on curse and schedule in meeting objectives and performance targets.

It is a test or sampling on a regular or ongoing basis of a system, program, project or activity for any changes in application performance, transaction, problems and potentials for changes as well as the effectiveness and efficiency.

This involves a systematic collection and analysis of data as a project progresses.

Generally, monitoring involves:

•  Establishing indicators of efficiency, effectiveness and impact
• Setting up systems to collect information related to these indicators
• Collecting and recording the information
• Analyzing the information
• Using the information to inform day-to-day management

Evaluation is the systematic determination of the merits, worth and significance of something or following some certain set standards, an assessment of the degree to which a program, project, system or activity fulfills stated objectives and goals.

This requires a comparison of actual project impact against the agreed strategic plans.

Generally, evaluation involves:

• Looking at what the project or organization intended to achieve
• Assessing its progress towards what it was made to achieve
• Looking at the strategy of the project or organization
• Looking at how it worked

The bottom-line is that both monitoring and evaluation all focus on efficiency, effectiveness and impact of projects, programs or activities and through the two processes, we review progress, identify problems and potentials in planning and implementation, suggest possible solutions, raise questions, stimulate some reflection on the goals and objectives, provide information on insight and make necessary adjustments for improvement.
