This 6 elements of Project Controls are totally applicable nowdays. The 6 elements can be simplified in 4 PDCA (Plan, Do, Study, Act) or Deming wheel, Continuous Improvement cycle is a continuous loop of planning, doing, checking (or studying), and acting.

Plan–do–check–act is associated with W. Edwards Deming, who is considered by many to be the father of modern quality control; however, he used PDSA (Plan-Do-Study-Act) and referred to it as the “Shewhart cycle”. Later in Deming’s career, he modified PDCA to “Plan, Do, Study, Act” (PDSA) because he felt that “check” emphasized inspection over analysis. The PDSA cycle was used to create the model of know-how transfer process, and other models.

The concept of PDCA is based on the scientific method, as developed from the work of Francis Bacon (Novum Organum, 1620). The scientific method can be written as “hypothesis–experiment–evaluation” or as “plan–do–check”. Walter A. Shewhart described manufacture under “control”—under statistical control—as a three-step process of specification, production, and inspection.
