Monitoring progress is the process of regularly reviewing project activities and performance to ensure that the project is on track to meet its objectives. Effective monitoring helps project managers identify potential issues or risks early on, and make any necessary adjustments to keep the project on track.

Some common techniques used to monitor progress in project management include:

1. Progress reports: These are regular reports that provide an overview of project progress, including accomplishments, challenges, and any changes to project plans.
   
   
2. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): These are measurable metrics that are used to evaluate project performance, such as completion rate, budget variance, or customer satisfaction.
   
   
3. Earned Value Analysis (EVA): This is a technique for measuring project performance by comparing planned value, actual cost, and earned value.
   
   
4. Status meetings: These are regular meetings between project team members and stakeholders to discuss project progress, address any issues, and make any necessary adjustments to the project plan.
   
   
5. Milestone tracking: This involves tracking the completion of key milestones in the project schedule, and adjusting the project plan as necessary to ensure that milestones are met on time.
   

Effective monitoring also requires clear communication and collaboration among project team members and stakeholders, as well as the use of project management tools and software to track progress and performance. By regularly monitoring progress and making any necessary adjustments, project managers can ensure that the project stays on track to meet its objectives.
