- Leaves the phase with
- A variance note — and a revised plan if the date has moved
- A daily progress report, a weekly look at the master plan, a monthly report for the client file
- Negative variances at activity level, not one percentage for the whole plot
- Earned value read against the baseline, with cash in the same meeting
- Then one of: a catch-up, more crew, parallel packages, a second front — issued, not implied
If this phase is skipped. The gap found after the monsoon has already spent the float is a story, not a control.
