Which stage involves follow-up and reassessment of next steps?

• A. Starting
• B. Arranging
• C. Monitoring
• D. Closing

Answer: (C)

Monitoring is the stage where you continuously check how things are progressing after work has begun. It involves collecting data on outcomes, comparing them to the plan, and seeing whether milestones are being met. This ongoing review naturally leads to deciding what to adjust next—reassessing next steps, timelines, and resources based on what the data show. The other stages focus on getting things started, organizing tasks, or wrapping things up, but they don’t emphasize the continual evaluation and adjustment that follow-up requires.
