Introduction
Cost control is one of the major parts in the cost management in Project management. Cost control is the process of monitoring project status to update project costs and managing changes to the cost baseline. The main benefit of this process is that the cost baseline is maintained throughout the project. The appropriateness of this process is that the cost baseline is maintained throughout the project.
