Forecast investment to set up office on project siteplus canteen and housing of the workers and servicetransport, Ph. 1,500.00 to Ph.2,800.00
Organizations will have well worn (and reasonablyaccurate) methods for creating the initial projectestimate based on past experience.
However - every project is unique So the estimating process always has some level of
uncertainty (and therefore RISK) associated with it. The PM must understand the organizationsaccounting practices to the extent that they areimposed on the project budgeting and controlprocess.

The budget for an activity also implies management
support for that activity
The higher the budget, relative to cost, the higher
the managerial support
The budget is also a control mechanism Many organizations have controls in place that prohibit
exceeding the budget
Comparisons are against the budget

On most projects
Material + Labor + Equipment + Capital +
Overhead + Profits = Bid In other words
Resources + Profits = Bid
So budgeting is in effect, the task offorecasting resources

Like any forecast, this includes some uncertainty
There is uncertainty regarding usage and price
Especially true for material and labor
The more standardized the project andcomponents, the lower the uncertainty
The more experienced the cost estimator, the lowerthe uncertainty (and therefore the RISK)

1. There may not be as much historical data or none
at all
2. Even with similar projects, there may be significant
differences
3. Multiple people have input to the budget4. Multiple people have some control over the budget5. There is more flexibility regarding the estimates
of inputs (material and labor)6. The accounting system may not be set up to track
project data

The technique of developing a budget by comparing
this project to past ones using the judgment and
experience of management.
Typically an overall budget is assigned to theproject to be distributed to the individual tasks.
If the projects being used for comparison are similar
enough, this process can result in a fairly accuratetotal number.
The process of distributing the total can create a lot
of conflict among the management team.

ADVANTAGES
Overall project budgets can
be set/controlled veryaccurately Management has more
control over budgets Do not need to do as much
up-front planning
DISADVANTAGES
More difficult to get buy in
Leads to low levelcompetition for largershares of budget

The process of developing budgets by askingthe people who will perform the individual
tasks on the WBS for their estimates. These individual numbers are then rolled up
to a summary for presentation tomanagement.

ADVANTAGES
Greater buy in by low level
managers More likely to catch
unusual expenses
DISADVANTAGES
Need a good WBS
Can lead to game playingwhen individuals pad theirestimates in anticipation ofmanagement cuts.
Management has a
tendency to trim thebudget as they have notoriginated it

Using the bottom-up estimates, costs can be
applied to each WBS element. These are typically calculated by taking the labor
hour estimate and dollarizing it using appropriatelabor and overhead rates. To be accurate, the estimator needs to understand
the relationship between the labor estimate and the
actual number of hours that will be charged to theproject because of personal time and inefficiencies.
A similar process must be used if machine time or
other resources are charged to the project.

Typically the budgeting process requires some negotiationbetween the PM and senior management.
This is because the PM will be better informed on the
technical details while management will know more aboutthe financial realities of the business.
Together they need to discuss the project requirements andlife cycle.
If the project is heavily dependent on testing and integrationat the end, then its important to not short change thebudget for the completion process.

Organizations are use to budgeting (and collectingdata) by category
These activities correspond to line items in the
budget Examples include phone, utilities, direct labor,
Projects need to accumulate data and control
expenses differently by collecting project costsaccording to the WBS This results in program or activity budgeting

Inputs from a lot of areas are required to estimate a project
May have a professional cost estimator to do the job
Project manager will work closely with cost estimator whenplanning a project
Most projects are concerned only with estimating directcosts rather than indirect costs (although the PM will need toknow which is required)
PM must build contingencies into the process to account foruncertainty. One way to do this is to use the process ofdeveloping likely , optimistic and pessimistic estimates. Most firms add 5-10 percent for contingencies

Projects are known for being over budget It is unlikely that this is due to deliberate underestimating
There are two types of errors
Random Systematic
There is nothing we can do about random errors Want to eliminate systematic errors

Studies and common sense have shown that as
people repeat a task they get better at it.
This idea is formalized in the concept of the learning
curve, which states that each time the outputdoubles the worker hours per unit decrease to a fixed
percentage of their previous value.
This effect is important because the estimator must
determine the impact learning had on past projects
(and their rates) and predict its impact on the one
being estimated.

Projects that involve new technologies or processes
are very difficult to estimate because past
performance is not a useful guide.
An almost certain, immediate result of installing anew cost-saving program is that costs rise
May be resistance to change.or When we alter a system, we disturb its functioning and it
reacts in unpredictable ways

Changes in resource costs due to factors likeinflation PM must build in appropriatecontingencies identifying areas of greatest
exposure Waste, spoilage, and labour turnover People, as resources are not freely
interchangeable with each other. The projectmay require five people, but if they are notthe right people, the number available is
irrelevant.Estimated by: Venjie Menchavez JWPSI

Ideas based on work by Fred Brooks The Mythical ManMonth
Tendency to underestimate the time intellectual work willtake
A lot of risk is involved in projects that consist of a series ofcomponents, all of which must work for the project to
succeed

We have a (mistaken) tendency to assumethat workers and time are interchangeable,
so adding more workers should reduce thetime taken Brooks asserts that: adding manpower to a
late software project makes it later
Why?

Data can be collected on the quality of project
estimates by using statistical techniques.
The estimate is compared to the actual, and
statistics like the Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD),the Mean Absolute Ratio (MAR) and the TrackingSignal can be calculated.
These are all used to detect bias or non-random
error in the estimate.
