Plan the project controls your team should be checking this month.
Download the latest Project Controls Calendar for weekly checks across actuals, forecasts, resources, timesheets, risks, accruals, reporting and period close.
Project control works best when the right checks happen in the right order, at the right time.
Without a shared calendar, governance becomes chasing. Reporting becomes rushed. Actuals reconciliation starts late. Forecasts move without clear explanation. Accruals get missed. And month-end becomes a rescue mission.
This calendar gives PMO, Finance and project teams a simple monthly rhythm to follow.
Why use a project controls calendar?
— Because project controls are time-dependent.
Actuals need to land before reconciliation.
Reconciliation needs to happen before reforecasting.
Reforecasting needs to happen before governance reporting.

Doing these activities “whenever” creates gaps, delays and surprises.
