Abstract
In the evolution of project management as a distinct field of management, there seems to have developed greatly disjointed theory on project control. As a result, the modern practitioner is often faced with contradictory and confusing advice on project time/schedule control requirements. This research integrates and extends present time/schedule control theory. It includes a review of the literature, in which the fragmented theory is pieced together in a model describing the operation of a control system. It uses an industrial survey of engineering projects in the South Western Cape to highlight current time/schedule control trends and to establish the existence and form of relationships between project success, project characteristics and time/schedule control methods. The broad scope of the research has made it possible to set rough guidelines for the practising project manager, in the selection of time/schedule control requirements, and to highlight areas for further research in this area of project management.
