Introduction
What is Project Control in Project Management? Projects often fail, not due to a lack of technical skills but commonly due to inadequate coordination, communication, and control of project activities. This is due to the inability of many project managers to successfully apply the tools and techniques of modern project coordination and control to their projects. This course educates the participants on the application of project, program, and portfolio management processes within a framework of project management governance to enable an organization to do the right projects and to do them right. What is Project Planning and Control? It is trusted that effective planning and control are both essential for successful project management. The ability to control is also a consequence of the other project management disciplines working in sync, and therefore, project control is a virtual discipline drawing on the others. This training course raises awareness of project control, highlighting its dependence on planning and its relationship with the other project management disciplines. This course should be of interest to those new to project management, as well as, to the project management community in general and in particular to planning and control practitioners. This Solid State Training aims at educating one on how to effectively set up a project control process that will enable the practitioner to keep an eye on cost and schedule as things progress and evolve through the project. Project success is all about customer satisfaction. Having the right levels of controls in place to actively and effectively manage the project, the resource, and the schedule in place will warrant that customer satisfaction will be managed throughout the project.
