Cost control of project includes:



- Influencing the factors that create changes to the cost baseline

- Ensuring requested changes are agreed upon

- Managing the actual changes as and when they occur

- Monitor cost performances ro detect and understand cost variances

- acting to bring expected cost overruns within acceptable limits



Tools that can be used are:



- Cost change control system that is documented in the cost management plan, defines the procedures by which cost baseline can be changed.

- Earned Value Analysis

- Forecasting

- Variance Analysis

- Trend Analysis

- Through P3



Hope this shud b sufficient



Cheers,
