Tracking costs involve estimating budgets, establishing controls, measuring results, updating forecasts and continuous communication. It is an ongoing process that must commence at the onset of planning and remain in place throughout the project life cycle.
Successfully tracking costs involves a system of planning that begins in the early stages of development. The following are tips for estimating and tracking costs, but note, there is a specific order to execute precise cost tracking:
