Project Control Systems for Success

Project control systems help manage projects and contribute to their success. They involve comparing a project's actual performance to its baseline plan by measuring progress, identifying any differences, and taking corrective actions. The types of control systems needed depend on a project's strategic and operational vulnerabilities. An important system is change management control, which establishes a formal process for approving, communicating, and implementing any necessary changes to the project plan. This helps maintain the project scope and budget and ensures all parties are aware of changes.
