It's time to get down to the details of PCM. To understand the details, we must understand the big picture of what it is designed to do. You can look at PCM from many different angles or roles. It is designed such that multiple levels of the organization have some sort of access into the system to input, analyze, query, or review information. Like any other system, the quality and reliability of the analysis is only as good as the quality of the data entered. Organizations that embrace PCM at all levels are the organizations that gain the most from the system. PCM is merely a tool to be used. It does not perform functions on its own; it relies on quality input to provide quality information for precise, timely project decisions.
