5 Project Cost Management
Introduction
cost term
direct cost
Costs that are directly attributable to project work
s
General administrative expenses account or costs shared by several projects
fixed costs
Will not increase with product production quantity
Variable costs
Varies with production or workload
Controllable costs
What the project manager can control
uncontrollable costs
The project manager has no direct control over
opportunity cost
If you choose another project and give up the income of this project, the original income that can be obtained
Sunk costs
Expenses spent. Costs that should not be considered when deciding whether to proceed with a project
Project life cycle cost
All costs incurred during the entire life cycle of the system or product, including acquisition (design, production, installation and testing, etc. or activities), operation and maintenance, and disposal of the product at the end of the life cycle.
Project financial evaluation indicators
Project priority
Project importance represents the ability to obtain resources
The higher the better
PV (present value)
Future cash discounted to present value
Money has time value
NPV (net present value)
Subtract the present value of income from the present value of expenditure, and choose a project investment with a larger net present value. NPV takes into account risk
The bigger the better
IRR (internal rate of return)
A measure of profitability, the discount rate that makes the net present value of an investment project equal to zero.
The bigger the better
PP (payback period)
After the project product is put into production, the time required to achieve the cumulative operating profit equal to the investment amount. Time required to recover costs
The shorter the better to reflect project risks
BCR (Benefit Cost Analysis)
Benefit (payback)/CostRatio The income obtained for every dollar invested
The bigger the better
ROI (profit rate on investment)
Average annual profit/project investment*100%
The bigger the better
SV
progress deviation
Best is "0
CV
cost deviation
Best is "0
Schedule Performance Index (SPI)
EV/PV
Best for "1
Cost Performance Index (CPI)
EV/PC
Best for "1

Meeting
The project team holds planning meetings to develop a cost management plan
output
cost management plan

unit of measurement
precise
Set how much to round cost estimates up or down
Certainty estimate: -5% ~ +10%
Rough magnitude estimate: -25% ~ 75%
Accuracy
Specify an acceptable range for cost estimates including contingency reserves ±10%
Organizer connection
How to unify the caliber with finance
control threshold
Deviation 5%

Weight distribution at each stage
Report format and frequency of preparation
Provide monthly project cost analysis reports
Other details
Explanation of exchange rate fluctuations
Strategic Financing Instructions
Estimate cost
The process of making an approximate estimate of the monetary resources required to complete project activities.
Resource quantity X resource unit price X occupied time Risk reserve Quality cost
All resources spent on the project, including labor, materials, equipment, services, facilities, special costs such as inflation, subsidies, emergency costs, etc.

management reserve
Unknown unknown risk events: For unknown and uncertain risks, the consequences of the risk are unknown. such as scope and cost changes
It can be included in the project budget, but not in the project cost performance measurement baseline, that is, the project manager is not responsible for unknown and uncertain risks.
Requires management approval for use
cost budget
quality cost
project management information system
Project management information systems can include electronic forms, simulation software, and statistical analysis tools to assist in cost estimating
decision making
Voting is the process of evaluating multiple future action plans in order to achieve a certain desired result. These techniques can engage team members, improve the accuracy of estimates, and increase accountability for estimate results
output
Cost Estimate
Completing project work may require a quantitative estimate of costs
Cover all resources used by the activity
Special costs such as inflation or cost contingency reserves
Indirect costs calculated at activity level or higher

Budgeting
The process of summarizing the estimated costs of all individual activities or work packages to establish an approved cost baseline
The project budget includes all funds approved to execute the project, while the cost baseline is the approved project budget allocated by time period, including contingency reserves, but does not include management reserves
Project budget components
First, summarize the cost estimates of each project activity and their contingency reserves to obtain the costs of the relevant work packages. The cost estimates of each work package and their contingency reserves are then summarized to obtain the cost of the control account. Then summarize the costs of each control account to obtain the cost baseline.

Historical information review
Historically accurate information used to build the model
Parameters in the model are easy to quantify
Models can be adapted to suit large projects, small projects and various project phases
Funding limit balance
Funding expenditures should be balanced against any restrictions on project funding. Balance funding levels by adjusting schedules. Funding balancing can also be achieved by adding mandatory dates to the schedule
Financing
Refers to obtaining funding for the project. Long-term infrastructure, industrial and public services projects often seek external financing. If a project uses external funding, the funding entity may impose certain requirements that must be met
