Cost control with statistic tools

Summary

The article will focus on the theories and methods applied in cost control in cost management. Control Costs is the process of monitoring the status of the project to update the project costs and managing changes to the cost baseline. The key benefit of this process is that the cost baseline is maintained throughout the project. This fit of this process is that the cost baseline is maintained throughout the project.[1]

1. basic theories and steps
2. tools and techniques
3. application of statistic tools
