Costly, Overdue Projects Meet their Match with New Book Aiming to Save Organisations Time & Money
Project Controls are defined as “processes for gathering and analyzing project data to keep costs and schedules on track.” Put simply, any organisation that wishes to avoid budget overruns, expensive delays, and erosion of profits, will want to put effective project controls in place before any project commencement.
Dr. Yakubu Olawale has advised and consulted businesses, governments, boards and FTSE 100 and 250 companies in the UK with their capital projects and programs.
His knowledge on the subject of project controls is extensive, and now he has distilled that expertise into his new book, “Project Control Methods and Best Practices: Achieving Project Success”, which aims to assist organisations, project managers, project leaders and other project professionals in ensuring they have sound best practices in place to enable project success.
Synopsis:
