This paper explores the essential management tools — planning, scheduling, and risk management — that are crucial for maintaining the project management triangle's balance of time, resources, and quality. The success of any business operation or construction project depends heavily on these tools, which help ensure projects are completed on time and within budget while maintaining high quality. The paper begins by defining key terms and concepts related to project management. It then delves into the specific content, techniques, and controls associated with planning, scheduling, and risk management. The analysis highlights how these tools can be effectively implemented to enhance project efficiency and effectiveness. The paper concludes by summarizing the findings and their implications for successful project management.
