What is Project Controls – and why does it matter now? The role of project controls continues to evolve, but one thing is clear: it is integral to effective project delivery. Recent discussions within the APM Planning, Monitoring & Control Interest Network, and conversations in the margins at the APM conference, highlighted that we don’t always articulate this role consistently – even within our own profession. That prompted the PMC IN to pause and reflect, resulting in a short article exploring what project controls really means today, how it underpins governance and delivery, and why the relationship between project managers and project controls professionals is so critical. If this is an area you’re interested in, I’d encourage you to have a read, share your perspective in the comments on the PMC IN LinkedIn page, and follow the network for future discussions and publications. The article is intended to spark conversation, not close it down – your views are very welcome. #apm #pmcin #projectcontrols #bmt
