Participants will learn how to:

• Employ standard GAAP terms and definitions correctly when interfacing with Financial operations
• Lead the project team through a systematic process of identifying appropriate resources requirements and estimating the associated costs
• Develop and express risk in terms of contingency amounts
• Prepare project budgets, spending plans, and alternative analyses
• Execute cost control tools and techniques (such as EV) in order to provide for good decision making, keeping the project within cost constraints

Seminar highlights:

The purpose of managing project cost is the completion of the project within budget constraints. While cost of resources is the main focus, a broader, life-cycle costing view is examined. Care should also be given to the manner in which different stakeholders measure project costs.

This workshop provides participants with a clear three-step process for managing costs:

• Cost Estimating
• Cost Budgeting
• Cost Control

Participants learn practical techniques for each of these steps. Throughout the course the role of the Project Manager in the cost management process is examined.
