Project Success: Theoretical Approaches and Control Techniques Used

This report provides an overview of project planning approaches and control techniques utilized in project management. It discusses various theoretical approaches, including the theory of planning, execution, and control, alongside project management techniques such as Gantt charts, Work Breakdown Structure, Waterfall, Agile, and Scrum methodologies. The report also examines control techniques like Cybernetic Control, Go/No-go Control, Post performance control, Formal Sign-offs, and Independent Quality Auditors, emphasizing the importance of managing factors like safety, quality, cost, schedule, and risk. The conclusion highlights the significance of these approaches and techniques in achieving effective and efficient project completion.

Introduction
Project management is a process of leading a team to
achieve the project goals with the given time period. A

Project Planning Approaches and Techniques
Name of the Student
An analysis of the control techniques
utilised to deliver a successful project.
Projects can be long and complicated and project managers can
loose the sight of the actual objectives in complicated projects. Big
projects can get out of control if project leaders do not control the
project throughout.
• Cybernetic Control
• Go/No-go Control
• Post performance control
• Formal Sign offs
• Independents Quality Auditor
CONCLUSION
In this poster it is concluded that theoretical approaches
and control techniques are important for project
managers to complete a project effectively and
efficiently. The poster highlights few theoretical
approaches and control techniques which are used to
deliver a successful project.

There are many factors in a project which need to be controlled in
order to achieve the best output from a project. Safety, quality, cost,
schedule and risk are some of factors which can influence the pace
of the whole project.
