- Create an accurate budget for any level of work from individual project tasks to entire portfolios
- Estimate tasks using activity-based costing, and aggregate to project budgets
- Quantify risk to justify contingency funding and produce a defencible baseline
- Manage the programme budget, allocating funds to projects with the best rate of return
- Align the organisation's budget with the customer value proposition and strategic objectives
- Leverage Earned Value Analysis to determine project status, forecasts and any necessary corrections
Course Benefits
Project managers are under constant pressure to deliver their projects under budget, yet projects in every industry often exceed their original budgets. This course provides the skills to estimate realistic budgets for completing planned project scope. You also learn how to leverage an approved baseline budget to support the organisation's strategic objectives. Who Should Attend
Anyone who wants to learn about budgeting, including project and programme managers, department managers and team members. Project management experience at the level of Course 296, "Project Management: Skills for Success", or Course 340, "Project Management for Software Development", is strongly recommended. 
Through an authentic case study-based simulation, you gain experience creating and managing a budget on a large-scale project. Role-playing, individual and team activities include:
- Estimating individual task costs using various tools
- Conducting peer reviews of individual estimates
- Categorising costs
- Building the budget baseline
- Adding contingency funding
- Creating an earned value performance report
- Forecasting and recommending next steps
- Determining projects to fund
- Identifying budget policy violations
- Constructing a cash flow
- Leveraging lessons learned

"I enjoy the style of Learning Tree Courses above and beyond others available in the industry. My principal objective in attending a Learning Tree Course is not to learn 'everything' about a topic but to jump-start my own learning. I get a well-rounded overview of a subject that provides the most salient points and how I can apply them to my own work. The new skills acquired in the classroom provide me with an excellent head start". |
