Today, with the increasing advancements and growth across industries, the business and operational risks are burgeoning and so is the need for project management and control. Especially, project control is crucial in industries where large, complex, and often expensive projects are undertaken.

Be it construction, engineering, manufacturing, information technology, finance, and healthcare, project control necessarily ensures that projects stay on track, within budget, and meet defined quality standards.. Project control leaders, also known as project control leads, are responsible for overseeing and coordinating all aspects of project controls, including reporting, cost control, progress measurement, and schedule management. They not only ensure that project objectives are met through efficient monitoring but also provide advice on the execution performance of contractors and other stakeholders.

Project controls are crucial for ensuring project success because they provide a structured approach to managing key aspects involved, helping leads make informed decisions, identify and mitigate risks, and maintain alignment with project goals. By tracking progress, reporting on performance, and analyzing deviations, project controls contribute to timely completion, adherence to budget, and the delivery of expected quality. As per IMF, in 2025, India's economy is projected to maintain a strong growth trajectory, accounting a 6.2 percent growth. This growth is supported by robust domestic demand and proactive government policies. While global economic headwinds exist, India's growth remains stable.
