What is it?
It is important to monitor project process and collect data because generally project managers are asked to make
important decisions without much verified data. This means their decisions are essentially guesswork.
Monitoring helps to take out some of this guesswork so that decisions can be made with more confidence.

Individual stakeholder personalities are something else that must be considered when
communicating. Personalities are complex but here are a few generalized types that
deserve consideration.
Talking Tom
He’s a buddy, always loves chatting and is a super nice person. While it’s good to have friendly and personable individuals
on your project, remember as PM it is your job to keep everything on track. Clearly define the information you need
before instigating a discussion & find ways to turn the conversation back to the items at hand.
Missing Mindy
This person disappears for long periods of time and replies to things unrelated to the information required. Chances are
they have a busy schedule and are not as organized as you. Keep reviews to a minimum and lock in a meeting time to
discuss. Take detailed notes.
Emailing Emma
This person loves emailing and will often send many short emails all connecting to one or a few ideas. For this individual,
avoid responding right away as they may have more information to send you. Instead block out chunks of time
throughout the day to dedicate to responding.
Grumpy Grant
This person’s communication style is gruff and blunt. They are hard to please, not completely sure what they want, and
may have a bit of an ego. It is important not to take anything personally and look for the good intentions and ideas that
they have to offer.
It shows who and what is involved in a process, can be used in any business or
organization, and can reveal areas where a process should be improved.
