What is Project controlling and why is it essential?
Project controlling systematically monitors the progress of your projects. It continuously collects actual data, compares it with the planned values and identifies deviations. Good project controlling uses the right tool to identify hurdles before they become problems. Project management and controlling go hand in hand:
Modern project work requires both the planning and management of tasks as well as their continuous monitoring and evaluation. Modern projects are complex and resource intensive. Without continuous monitoring, cost overruns, deadline delays or quality problems can quickly occur. Project controlling makes these risks transparent and controllable.
Professional software such as ZEP combines all aspects of project management: from planning and implementation to monitoring and management. This gives you a holistic solution for successful projects. The result: projects that are completed on time, within budget and in the desired quality.
5 reasons why project controlling ensures your success
Project controlling ensures targeted project management, efficient use of resources and motivated teams — the key to successful project completion.
Early intervention in case of deviations
Project controlling ensures that deviations in schedule, budget or quality are identified and corrected at an early stage. In this way, projects can be kept on track and the goals set as part of project management can be achieved on time.
Transparency for more engagement
Effective controlling ensures clear communication by the project manager. Project management is more transparent and employees understand their role in the project to ensure that milestones and goals are met.
Efficient resource and project management
Project controlling optimizes the use of resources. The right resources are distributed specifically to the most important tasks, which ensures a smooth project flow and avoids unnecessary delays.
Project control and countermeasures
By regularly monitoring key figures, errors and delays can be identified at an early stage. This makes it possible to take targeted countermeasures and keep the project on track for success, taking into account the project calculation.
Easy coordination of project processes
With effective project controlling, the individual work packages are better coordinated. This allows all team members to work together efficiently and management keeps track of project progress at all times.
