Monitor the implementation of the organization’s set of standard processes and use of process assets on all work.

By monitoring implementation, the organization ensures that the organization’s set of standard processes and other process assets are appropriately deployed to all work groups. Monitoring implementation also helps the organization to develop an understanding of the organizational process assets being used and where they are used in the organization. Monitoring also helps to establish a broader context for interpreting and using process and product measures, lessons learned, and improvement information obtained from work groups.
