Managing Project Control

Introduction

In today's turbulent, fast-paced business environment, organizations must be prepared to predict the value of their work. Using project management to deliver valuable outcomes is one of the most prevalent approaches to the generation of users. However, many projects significantly exceed the project schedule and budget, and as a result, the organization's financial and strategic objectives are not met. These failures are sometimes exacerbated because senior management is not alerted to problems until it is far too late in the project's execution. Why?
