A comparison of project control standards based on network analysis

Abstract

Project control is a crucial function in project management. Over the years, several best practice standards have been developed to assist project managers in improving project control. The objective of this paper is to compare three prominent best practice models of PMBOK, PRINCE2, and the AACE framework with respect to the core processes of project control. Network analysis is used to achieve this objective. The results show that influential and linkage processes, such as Control quality, Review the stage status, Forecasting, and Change management have the most significant impacts on the complexity of the project control function. This work has the potential to help rethink the project control function by creating a more global view of the most central and critical processes for project control, from which enhancement in the ability to control the project can be drawn.

Risk Management in Information Systems Projects

“…Since project risk management involves understanding potential problems that might occur on the project and how they might hinder project success (Schwalbe, 2018), not doing it can endanger (put at risk) the overall project. Project control is a critical function of project management (Perrier et al, 2019), and without adequate risk management cannot be done in full.…”

Using The 7 FE Framework in Business Process Management to Support Successful IT Project Management in Digital Banking

“…As defined in the PMBOK® (A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge) manual published by PMI, USA; a project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service [7]. Several processes, inputs, and outputs are central to project control [8]. Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques in a project activity to achieve the needs of the project itself."…”
