Project Planning Metrics

 

Project Planning Metrics

Components normally measured and controlled using planning and scheduling software are:

• Scope

• Time

• Effort (resources)

• Cost.

A change in any one of these components normally results in a change in one or more of the others.

Other project management functions that are not traditionally managed with planning and scheduling software, but may have components reflected in the schedule includes:

• Document Management and Control

• Quality Management

• Contract Management

• Issue Management

• Risk Management

• Industrial Relations

• Accounting.

The development of Enterprise Project Management systems has resulted in the inclusion of more of these functions in project planning and scheduling software.
