He elucidated that project management encompasses overseeing all facets of a project, from scope to quality, providing a holistic perspective. In contrast, project controls delve deeper into monitoring the project's budget and schedule, furnishing data and insights crucial for keeping the project on course. Essentially, project controls serve as the analytical lens within the broader project management framework.
