Nothing ever goes completely according to plan. Once a project is launched, management needs an information and control system to adjust and steer the project toward its objectives. On time-sensitive projects, project managers need to be able to track progress and know when to speed things up. On set budget projects, project managers need to be able to monitor costs and know when it is necessary to cut costs. Not only are you interested in whether the project is on schedule and budget, but management and customers want to know when the project is likely to be completed and at what cost. These exercises will help you in determining this information.
