Change management also needs to interact with these plans to ensure the project is reflecting the latest scope to ensure the project is delivered on time. This type of controlled process where the plan is driving all the project departmental deliverables will increase control and improve on-time project delivery performance. Too often the project plan is a pretty Gantt picture and the individual functions are working to their own out of synch plans using lots of disparate Excel spreadsheets. This is not being in control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-36ae91b3bfa21deabc2b0c7ddcf86a94 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cost<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ca8d2060a7b998e4e9deeeb25e8e7bf6 wp-block-paragraph\">Controlling project costs, revenues and margins is essential. That means having accurate real time information on the project actual costs including materials, labor, equipment, sub-contract packages and overheads. We also need to manage and optimize these resources so that productivity and efficiency are maximized. The project cost control process should be fully integrated with the accounting system ensuring there is only one version of the truth. This eliminates the need for Excel, a very common source of inaccuracy and delay in knowing what is happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3ab2f08bd2e94c57100e8682384b76bb wp-block-paragraph\">Having integrated accounting and project cost tracking is only part of the story.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ifs.com\/assets\/cloud\/project-financial-control-for-construction-and-engineering\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">To have true Project Financial Control<\/a>&nbsp;we need to manage and have integrated project estimating, budgeting and periodic project forecasting processes and support commercial, planning, supply chain, contract and risk management processes as well.
