Practically every IT organization does annual budgeting for major projects and operational efforts, and then monthly forecasting using a cost breakdown like Labor, Hardware, Software, T&E, Contingency, etc., and then they use a scheduling tool like Microsoft Project with detail tasks which isn’t organized that way.

Often the initial budget is prepared long before a task level plan even exists, sometimes before a project manager is assigned!

In this webinar Rich Murphy will address a method of solving this problem which is consistent with an organizations normal processes, essentially integrating spreadsheet based financial planning with a detail schedule.

The presentation will explain the benefits of having the budgeting, forecasting, and actual cost tracking process configured to suit corporate accounting while being able to integrate with the detail schedule planning and progress tracking approaches used by project managers.

This approach can be used with traditional “waterfall” project scheduling and techniques such as Agile.
