Abstract :
    Project management which has taken great strides in recent years, is a fairly new branch of the science of management. In spite of its potential and usefulness, it is rarely used on continuous and comprehensive basis in Iran. The results produced by managers who have used the underlying principles of project management on an ongoing basis, have demonstrated that it’s methods and technicues are inextricable from any successful project. One of the most critical part of any civil project management is cost control and budget management.
