Developing a Project Budget Three major elements
Forecast what will be needed Labor and material
How much will it cost? When will it be needed?
Thus, the budget reflects the project plan, time-phased, in dollars

Why Budgeting for Projects is Tougher By definition, projects are unique,
non-recurring efforts So there’s often little history, little
tradition to rely on Further, projects can last for years
More uncertainty, more risk

Two Major Approaches to Budgeting Top-Down
Bottom-Up
Each has advantages . . . And disadvantages as well
![Page 8: 7-1 Budgeting and Cost Estimation Budgets defined Two major approaches Pros and Cons Behavioral issues Financial issues.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051216/56649da15503460f94a8d5de/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Top-Down Budgeting Based on managerial judgment,
and historical data History can include actual costs
from similar projects, adjusted for differences and for inflation
Start at the top, and allocate down through the WBS

7-9
Pros and Cons of Top-Down Budgeting Pros
Quick, simple Fair accuracy overall, though individual
elements may be in error Small tasks need not be individually identified
Cons Limited buy-in by junior managers Senior managers views may be biased Using data from dissimilar projects, or old
projects, can mislead

Bottom-Up Budgeting Starts at the bottom of the WBS,
with the people who do the work Then costs are aggregated upward Overhead, project reserves, and
profit have to be added in

Pros and Cons of Bottom-Up Budgeting Pros
More accurate, in detailed elements The benefits of participative
management Differences of opinion can be resolved
Cons Overlooking a task can be a costly error Time-consuming to prepare Estimates can be padded at every level

Behavioral Issues in Budgeting Different perspectives, based on
managerial level Senior people tend to underestimate, junior
people tend to overestimate Lower levels tend to arbitrarily add
reserves, upper levels to arbitrarily delete them
Bottom Line: Any system can be gamed So know what the games are . . .

Behavioral Issues in Budgeting: Emanon Aircraft Corporation Loss of business: Problem or symptom? Keep asking “Why?”
Emanon loses business. Why? . . . Because bids are too high. Why? . . . Because material estimates are inflated.
Why? . . . Because purchasing is adding its own
reserve. Why? . . . Because they were burned once, and
don’t want to be burned again.

Financial Issues Worth Considering: Inflation Inflation can distort estimates in
different ways Actual costs from the past will be less
than comparables for today – the older the data, the greater the disparity
Long-duration projects can create special problems
Six percent inflation doubles cost in just 12 years . . .
. . . And 6% is low in much of the world

Financial Issues Worth Considering: Learning Rate As output doubles, labor hours per
unit decrease by a fixed percentage
For example, the first unit of output takes 1,000 hours, and the learning rate is 80%Unit Labor hours
req’d for that unit
1 1000
2 800
4 640
8 512
