A comprehensive and integrated approach to Project Controls helps in the success of a project. Well implemented project control strategies create a cultural and technological environment that helps motivate members of the project team – holding them accountable in a manner that is transparent and proactive.  This can create a collaborative team approach in which all team members embrace the same objectives and strive for the team’s success. Project controls can play a vital role in building a positive team culture where budgets and schedules are met, and potential problems are solved early.
