What are project controls?

Project controls are processes and tools used to plan, monitor, and manage project costs, schedules, and performance. They involve activities such as budgeting, scheduling, risk management, and reporting to ensure that a project stays on track and meets its objectives. Professionals in project controls help identify potential issues early and provide data-driven insights to support decision-making throughout the project lifecycle.
