Controlling projects

In the most recent edition of the Journal of Modern Project Management, a guest editorial introduction to the importance of new project control methodologies is given, with a special attention to the new earned duration management technique. 

Abstract: Completing a project on time and within budget is not an easy task. Project monitoring and controlling systems should consist of processes that are performed to observe project progress in such a way that potential problems can be identified in a timely manner. When necessary, corrective actions can be taken to exploit project opportunities or to bring projects in danger back on track. The requisite is that project performance is observed and measured regularly to identify deviations from the project baseline schedule. Therefore, monitoring the progress and performance of projects in progress requires a set of tools and techniques that should ideally be integrated into a single deci- sion support system. The understanding of the basic elements and concepts is a requisite to successfully use and implement the various project control concepts in an integrated project management and control system.
