Progress Monitoring and Control, Tools, Tracks, and Cases

To get started, share track-specific information: What are the monitoring tools and methods that are especially important in your track? Why are they important? Try to give some examples from the cases you've read or your experience. Do you think your selection is specific to your track? In what ways?

Then, as you read your classmates' posts and think about the reading you've done, consider tools as they apply to other tracks. Are tools being used differently based on the track? Does it look like some tools are more relevant to particular tracks? What lessons can one learn from looking at the tools and methods in different settings?

Finally, consider what should be done when monitoring detects a variation or deviation from the plan. How would you approach this? Would your approach vary based on the context/track? In what ways?

The Cleveland Fitness Centre case provides an example where you can consider what should have been done, but feel free to bring in other examples as well.
