This document outlines the essential components and functions of project planning and control, emphasizing the features of projects, including their temporary nature and unique outcomes. It covers various project management functions such as forecasting, planning, mobilizing, supervising, and evaluating resources, emphasizing the importance of efficient resource management in construction. Additionally, it highlights the qualities of resources needed for projects, including their scarcity, quantifiability, and consumability.

2. PROJECT PLANNING AND CONTROL:
IMPORTANT FEATURES
 Project
 Project Resources
 Project Management Functions
 Planning

3. DEFINITON OF PROJECT
 Definition:
 Series of interrelated tasks or operations carried out to
achieve specific outcome
 Project Components: Tasks and operations
 Interrelatedness: complementary of the tasks and operations
 Specific outcome.
 Set of inputs and outputs required to achieve a particular
goal.
 Inputs: Project resources
 Outputs; Deliverables – Major & minor; Short-term & Long-term
 Particular goal: Structure – Building, Civil engineering
 Temporary Human Endavour undertaken to create a Unique
Product, Service or Result..

4. PROJECT
