Dinsmore, P. C., & CABANIS-BREWIN, J. (2010). The ama handbook of project management. AMACOM.
Read Chapter 8. The chapter focuses on project scope management. It notes that comprehensive scope management stands as the most critical success factor in projects. It adds that risks to the outputs may be reduced with a continuous examination of the project definition and scope control throughout all of its phases.

Oni, A. I. (2008). Linking project controls implementation planning and project success: The Northern Canadian Mining Projects Lessons. AACE International Transactions, 1–8.
This paper reviews project controls implementation planning elements and key lessons learned on Canada's arctic projects, around human resources, planning and budgeting, engineering and scope development, procurement, construction and closeout, and summarizes the impact of project controls implementation plan on the projects' outcomes.

Horváth, V. (2019). Project management competence - definitions, models, standards and practical implications. Vezetéstudomány / Budapest Management Review, 50(11), 2–17.
This paper discusses the complex nature of project management competence and how it has resulted in different definitions for the same concept in the academic literature.

Andrade, P. A. de, Martens, A., & Vanhoucke, M. (2019). Using real project schedule data to compare earned schedule and earned duration management project time forecasting capabilities.Automation in Construction,99, 68–78.
This paper focuses on improving the accuracy of project duration forecasting by introducing a forecasting approach for Earned Value Management (EVM) and Earned Duration Management (EDM) that combines the schedule performance and schedule adherence of the project in progress.

Morell, J. A. (2019). Linking Management and Evaluation: Project Schedules as Program Models. American Journal of Evaluation, 40(4), 472–489.
This article addresses three questions: How do models function in research, what makes project schedules a form of logic model and how can evaluation data be gleaned from schedules?

Sabeghi, N., Tareghian, H. R. (2020). Using the generalized maximum covering location model to control a project’s progress. Computational Management Science,17(1), 1.
In this study, we adapt for the first time the generalized maximum covering location model to determine the adjusting strategies such that the maximum control coverage is achieved, i.e. under the given constraints, a schedule that is globally as close to the baseline schedule as possible is obtained.

Walther, J. H. (2018). Developing personal course plans (PCPs) as an example of self-directed learning in library management and project management education. Journal of Library Administration, 58(1), 91–100.
Project schedules are logic models that focus on the timing of project activities. Value derives from the fact that schedule changes are not random. This resource discusses the necessity of project schedules and how to utilize them effectively.
