Monitoring & Control

Purpose

• Continuously compare planned vs actual project progress, detect deviations early, generate indicative forecasts, and emit timely alerts to support PM decision-making. This skill observes, compares, projects and alerts — it does not decide or change the plan.

Design principle (key)

• The skill observes, compares, projects and alerts. It never decides, re-plans, or executes changes. Actionable follow-up is routed to Risk & Issue Management, Change Control, or the PM Core Agent.

What it monitors (sources of truth)

• plan_high_level, milestones, planning_assumptions, and latest_updates. Only signals and evidence are evaluated; the skill returns signals, not solutions.
