Project control / Project Management

Ritesh,

Project control is just a miniscule of project management.

In other words: project management is the whole. under project management you have a lot of discipline: procurement, planning, contract, commercial, quality, cost, quantitiy surveying, safety (also a branch of HSE), etc. etc.,

Cheers,

Charlie

Theoretically Project management should cover everything.
However when Project Managers are more focussed in day to day "physical" works, he/she needs someone to help him with time and cost (especially as a global view and as trends). And that’s what Project Conroller do.

As far as I’ve experienced as a planner and scheduler, Project management does indeed cover all aspects of the planning, execution and close out of a project.

The project controls can be considered as the supporting documents and processes that enable the project to be reported on as well as the various baselined items to be managed.

Time and cost management are but 2 aspects of the controls a correctly structured project should have.

Don’t forget that in order to have time and cost measurement there are numerous different things that need to be developed, planned, baselined, updated, monitored and controlled.

Controls mechanisims are also the thresholds that are set to monitor the slip/delay/overrun, etc..

The project control is template fo project management.
In fact, on brach of PM is PC.
