The management activity is an umbrella activity that spans other activities.  This activity involves coordinating and monitoring activities against the plan. This activity relies heavily on receiving timely and accurate data on which decisions can be made.  A tailored set of tools allows for the collection of this data without additional overhead to other team members.

Management supports ongoing monitoring and adjustments of projects that have been planned through the application definition, design, construction, verification and release.
