What is the purpose of monitoring and controlling in project management?

To ensure the project remains within scope
To define the project's objectives and outcomes
To measure progress and take corrective action when necessary
To finalize all project-related tasks and close the project

The correct answer is: To measure progress and take corrective action when necessary

Monitoring and controlling in project management serves the purpose of measuring the project's progress and taking corrective action when necessary. This ensures that the project stays on track and stays within the planned timeline and budget. Option A, ensuring the project remains within scope, is an important aspect of monitoring and controlling, but it is not the sole purpose. Option B, defining project objectives and outcomes, is typically done during the planning phase and is not specific to monitoring and controlling. Option D, finalizing all project-related tasks and closing the project, is part of the project closure process and is not solely the purpose of monitoring and controlling.
