Monitoring progress at every phase of the project is critical to hitting deadlines. Timelines should be doable from the get-go, so monitoring ensures that everyone who has a role to play, plays them to perfection. Consistency is key.

Make adjustments to manpower if necessary. You can also move deadlines, but only as a last resort.
