Senior Managers’ Guide to Project Controls
Summary
This Senior Managers’ Guide to Project Controls demonstrates why executives and managers should invest their time and
organisations’ resources in project controls.
Part One of this guide is a reference document that focuses on what project controls do, but not how. It recognises that a senior audience is more interested in strategic delivery and good governance than in the details of ‘how’. It will refer to all the key project controls areas, which can be studied in more detail in other guides published by APM, for example, Planning, Scheduling, Monitoring and Control.
Part Two supports the introduction or improvement of project controls within an organisation. This guide will support project
controls investments and business cases. We are confident that it will provide credible independent evidence within a business
case to support investment in project controls capability.
