Creating a Project Budget

Then, once you have a clear idea of that time frame, perform one last check by asking the following questions:

  • Do I need a contingency allowance for unexpected expenses?
  • What's worked in the past for similar projects?
  • What are the expectations and opinions of my team and stakeholders?
