Project Planning and Control Department

The project planning and control department is one of the key sectors in project-based companies. Project managers, relying on the project planning and control department, will have a proper plan for the projects and their control. Any decision regarding the implementation of plans and intensification of the implementation process of projects requires analytical information about conditions, which can be possible with having project planning and control department around.

As is known, the above term is composed of two parts:

Part one: Project planning and part two: project control

Planning

Planning is the process during which goals are set and methodologies are presented in order to shed light upon the means to reach ends.
Planning is a series of regular, systematic and inter-linked operations carried out by an entity, organization or government for a certain period of time in order to achieve certain objectives.

Project planning and control tasks can be very versatile and extensive, but I will look at some of them below:

Description and instructions for doing the work (preparing job description, preparing the Work Breakdown Structure and Cost Breakdown Structure)
Scheduling (providing critical path method and determining the frequency of activities, types of relationships and dependencies, estimating time, timing)
Allocation of resources
Budget

Project Control

Project control is a process designed for timely diagnosis of possible problems in the project implementation process. This process allows the project manager to identify and resolve the problems ahead before they are expanded and when a simpler solution can be found. It may be said that the project control process is a recurring cycle during which the project manager uses various measures and measurement tools and after receiving feedback from others, measures possible deviations in the project’s executive process relative to the predetermined baseline and then decides what corrective measures are needed to correct the current process.
