Correct answer & explanation
✓
Controlling a Stage
After the Project Board authorizes the project and the first stage, the Project Manager uses the Controlling a Stage process to assign work, monitor progress, handle issues, and report to the Board throughout the stage. This process governs the day-to-day management of the stage and ensures it stays within tolerance.
