Project Management Process by IPMA – Project-Controlling

Project-Controlling

Project-Controlling collects information about the current project situation and compares to the baseline of the project (scope, schedule, cost, resources, quality and risks). Corrective actions may be taken in case of variances or requested scope changes. It follows the usual Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle by W.E. Deming. Wikipedia: PDCA
