Targets

A common control is for the justification of the project; i.e., can we still achieve the project goals as expected?

So, your method probably has a frequent check for justification. If it doesn’t, you probably have to add it; after all, you don’t want to continue spending resources on a project that doesn’t serve you well.

What are the project targets?

The classical targets measured in projects are scope, time, cost, and quality. Some resources may add other targets such as overall risk and benefits as well. Justification of the project is usually a combination of multiple, or even all, targets.

How sensitive are these targets in your project? If the controls provided in your methodology don’t match the level of sensitivity in your project, you need to adjust them.
