Abstract

ABSTRACT: The study uses linear regression analysis and the results show a substantial difference when traditional project controls are implemented along with the project controls team. These results are supported by statistical analysis which shows that adding a project controls team significantly improved project performance (with significance value less than 0.05). This highlights how crucial project controls teams are in implementing project controls tools, techniques & procedures and for successful project completion. The study highlights the necessity of giving project controls teams top priority along with the integration of project controls tools & techniques (i.e. Change management control, risk management control, contracts management control, budgetary control, time control, communication control, key milestones control) within frameworks for project management to maximize results. Organizations will navigate through problems more efficiently, be able to reduce risks & implement risk mitigations, and achieve better project outcomes by deploying the project controls teams and by using their project management expertise.
