Project Control
A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result. The temporary nature of projects indicates a definite beginning and end. The end is reached when the project’s objectives have been achieved or when the project is terminated because its objectives will not or cannot be met, or when the need for the project no longer exists.
Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to meet the project requirements. Project management is accomplished through the appropriate application and integration of the 42 logically grouped project management processes, comprising 5 main Process Groups. These 5 Process Groups are:
- Initiating
- Planning
- Executing
- Monitoring and Controlling

- Balancing the competing project constraints including, but not limited to:
