Project Cost Management (PCM) is a method that uses technology to measure cost and productivity through the full life-cycle of enterprise level projects. PCM encompasses several specific functions of project management including estimating, job controls, field data collection, scheduling, accounting and design. PCM's main goal is to complete a project within an approved budget. This technological approach has been a big challenger to the mainstream estimating software and project management industries. Early Purchasing Involvement philosophy may be one of the solutions in future.
