AB  - In scientific organizations one often encounters the opinion that management is a trivial activity and that project managers enjoy the easy side of the project life, far away from where the real work is. However, examples abound of projects failing to meet their objectives, running behind schedule, overrunning costs, etc., because of poor management. To several aspects which are crucial for the successful completion of a project the attention they deserve has to be paid if the project is to meet its objectives within the constraints that are imposed upon it. Whereas the engineers do things, the manager gets things done; managers are particularly concerned with: # what is planned to be done: i.e. the product which should be delivered, in our case the control system, # how long will the project take: i.e. schedule, # how one will know when the project is finished: completion criteria, # how much will it cost to implement and to maintain: Le. the cost. These issues have been discussed in the panel discussion.
