A critical aspect of successful project management is ensuring that execution aligns with the baseline schedule‎. ‎However‎, ‎traditional project control methods often struggle to effectively address the uncertainties and deviations that can arise during project execution‎, ‎leading to delays and inefficiencies‎. ‎To tackle these challenges‎, ‎this paper introduces a novel heuristic approach based on the Tabu Search (TS) algorithm for identifying discrete control points throughout the project life cycle‎. ‎These control points enable proactive monitoring‎, ‎timely deviation detection‎, ‎and corrective actions‎, ‎significantly minimizing project delays‎. ‎Unlike traditional scheduling techniques‎, ‎which can be rigid and reactive‎, ‎our proposed method dynamically adjusts control points to enhance project oversight‎. ‎Experimental results on benchmark instances from the Kolisch library demonstrate that our approach significantly reduces project delays‎, ‎with up to 20% improvements compared to initial schedules in certain scenarios‎. ‎These findings underscore the effectiveness of the TS algorithm in enhancing project control strategies‎, ‎highlighting its potential applicability in real-world project management scenarios‎.
