Tired of Project Budget Overruns and Inaccurate Estimates?

Are you constantly battling scope creep that blows your budget? Do stakeholders question your cost estimates? Is tracking actual spending a nightmare? Failing to manage project costs effectively can jeopardize project value and even lead to cancellation.

Gain Control Over Your Project Finances – Deliver On Time and ON BUDGET.

Managing project budgets is a critical – and often stressful – responsibility. This course provides the essential framework and practical, real-world techniques you need to manage costs confidently and effectively. Led by Luke Angel (PMP, Author, 20+ Years Project Experience), you'll learn how to master the financial constraints of your projects.

In this course, you will learn exactly how to:

  • Build Accurate Budgets from the Ground Up: Go beyond guesswork. Learn budget fundamentals, leverage your Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for cost allocation, differentiate CapEx vs. OpEx, and identify all relevant cost types.

  • Master Project Estimation Techniques: Explore and apply various methods (Top-Down, Bottom-Up, Parametric, etc.) to create realistic, defensible estimates that stakeholders can trust.

  • Implement Effective Tracking & Reporting: Set up simple yet powerful systems to track actual costs against your budget. Create clear, concise reports that highlight status, variances, and inform crucial decisions.

  • Proactively Control Costs & Prevent Overruns: Learn strategies to manage spending within constraints, analyze the budget impact of scope changes before approval, identify cost-saving opportunities, and avoid common pitfalls.

  • Forecast Accurately & Communicate with Confidence: Use real-time data to generate reliable budget forecasts (EAC/ETC). Learn how to communicate budget status, risks, and needs clearly and confidently to stakeholders.

Stop letting budget issues derail your projects. Start delivering predictable financial results.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Create comprehensive and accurate project budgets.

  • Select and apply appropriate estimation techniques.
