      Step 1. Obtain an agreement on project plan

      Agreement must be reached between the project manager and all members of the project team on the defined project parameters and targets as set out in the project plan. It may also be necessary to gain the agreement of the customer in terms of project duration and deliverables schedule.

      Step 2. Take corrective action
      When deviations between the project plan and actual project progress have been indentified or the implementation of change requests agreed, corrective action will need to be taken to ensure than project continues according to revised plan.
