This module is part of the CCMA Exam Prep.

This module introduces the key activities involved in managing a contract once it moves into the operational phase. It covers how to plan and allocate contract management resources, as well as how to establish effective communication channels. 

You'll explore the role of the contract manager during the transition from contract signature to delivery and examine how control processes ensure that proposed changes are properly assessed, agreed, and documented before they are implemented.

The module also looks at performance management, including how to run contract reviews, select appropriate metrics, and report effectively. Finally, it outlines the steps for closing out a contract – including managing ongoing obligations – and highlights the importance of capturing lessons learned.
