9 Effective ways to meet Project Targets Planning and Monitoring/Controlling a project is so paramount in meeting Project Targets. In this article we are going to work through ten ways to effectively meet Project Targets. Planning though seemingly a minor phase dictates the direction and sets the pace for the entire project’s success.  1. Develop a Project Charter Document and get sign-offs.
