ABSTRACT
Project management requires a logically structured sequence of processes. Structure is plainly the dominant feature when considering project organization. But nowhere is the structured approach more important than in the planning and control functions. Structure and logic should be keywords for any project manager. It is not by accident that critical path networks are also known as logic diagrams. Even in perfect conditions, with low risk, good management support and a clearly defined project, many variables must be solved along the path to effective planning and control. It is only through a systematic, structured approach that truly representative plans and budgets, the foundations for control, can be made.
