About this book

Description

Successful projects don’t happen by chance – they require exceptional project controls to plan, schedule, monitor, and deliver effectively. But to truly excel, you need more than just technical skills. Leadership, communication and a deep understanding of the project’s unique context are the pillars of exceptional project management.

This comprehensive book brings it all together. Building on the acclaimed Planning, Scheduling, Monitoring and Control (2015), this updated and enhanced addition is packed with insights, strategies and practical tools. It explores the full spectrum of project management disciplines, including:

  • estimating
  • planning and scheduling
  • risk management
  • cost and commercial management
  • reporting and oversight

Whether you’re a project controller, project manager, sponsor, or senior manager responsible for governance, this book is your essential guide to delivering change through projects as effectively and efficiently as possible.

APMG Project Planning and Control (PPC) Certification

APMG International’s Project Planning and Control (PPC) Certification has been developed in partnership with APM and is based on our Planning, Scheduling, Monitoring and Control guide. The book acts as the perfect companion to the qualification, using diagrams where possible to present the areas of study in a clear, accessible way. 

Project Controls in the 21st Century expands on the content in the Planning, Scheduling, Monitoring and Control guide. The breadth of content is ideal for candidates looking for wider reading in support of the PPC qualification – with greater emphasis on people, culture and behaviours, recognising that project controls is about more than just technical skills.

Reviews

“The role of project controls in major programmes is to be the trusted enabler of success, counterbalancing the natural optimism bias of the project management community with curiosity and constructive challenge. Project Controls in the 21st Century really captures this spirit of a whole systems approach.”

Mark Wild OBE, former CEO of Crossrail Ltd, now CEO at HS2
