Project Budgeting and Cost Management

Projects fail more often due to poor budget control and cost overruns than technical or scheduling issues. Many project teams prepare budgets at the start of the project, but lack the skills to actively manage, monitor, and control costs throughout the project lifecycle.

Developed by Boost, this course focuses on project-level budgeting and cost management during execution, bridging the gap between financial planning and day-to-day project control. The program equips participants with practical approaches to build realistic project budgets, track actual costs, manage variances, and support informed decision-making.
