Planning and Controlling Work
- Share to:
As a team leader, you almost certainly make plans every day, and you will no doubt be responsible for monitoring and controlling some of your team’s activities. As the definition above suggests, controlling is a matter of checking on performance, and taking appropriate corrective actions. There are many ways of reaching the same end goal, and what will be right for one team won’t suit another; nevertheless, the basic principles of planning and control are widely applicable.
This workbook consists of three sessions. Session A deals with control systems, and then discusses seven stages of controlling work activities, the first two of which are ‘Define objectives’ and ‘Make a plan’.
Session B is mainly about resources: people, materials and equipment. We also look at work methods, work flow and quality.
In Session C, we turn to the planning and control of projects. A project is an undertaking with definite objectives, to be achieved in a limited timescale. Although project management tends to be treated as a specialized subject in many textbooks, the basic approach and techniques can be used in all kinds of situations.
