Project control involves monitoring the project in order to check its progress, assessing the performance of the project against the project plan, and, if necessary, intervening in order to bring the project back to plan. The process often involves continually assessing the progress of the project in terms of budgeted expenditure and progress towards meeting the project’s final goal. It may also involve deciding when to devote extra resources to accelerating (also know as crashing) individual activities within the project. There are a number of proprietary computer-assisted project management packages on the market that range from relatively simple network planning programmes through to complex and integrated ‘enterprise project management’ (EPRM) systems.
