Project Controls are Management Actions, either preplanned to achieve the desired result, or taken as a corrective measure prompted by the monitoring process. Project controls are concerned with the metrics of the project – quantities, time, cost, and other resources and their measurable beneficial outcomes for the project.

Thus, the common approach to "measure productivity" is to compare the estimates against what, in fact, happened. That's why I strive to create an environment with mutual trust between the engineers and the different stakeholders. Similarly, product lifecycle management (PLM) integrates people, data, processes and business systems.
