points of failure (risks). Most negative risks (or potential failures) can be overcome or resolved, given enough planning capabilities, time, and resources. The purpose of Project Planning is to identify the scope of the project, estimate the work involved, and create a project schedule. The discipline of is about providing the tools and techniques that enable the project team (not just the project manager) to organise their work to meet these constraints. An auditor can serve as a controls consultant as part of the development team or as an independent auditor as part of an audit. The purpose of Project Monitoring and Control is to keep the team and management up to date on the project's progress. Project monitoring and control involves status meetings to gather status from the team. provides the tools you need to systematise the management of your Project and to make sure the risks you take are calculated. It involves more than just what a project manager does. is applicable in a wide range of business activities as it involves the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques shaped by the specifications and requirements of particular projects.
