Creating The Project Scope - Cost Budgeting (#6 in the series Creating The Project Scope)
By Joseph Phillips

Cost budgeting is the actual money committed on a project deliverable. Once the cost estimate has been created, we have to track the actual time and materials expenses that went into creating the WBS deliverable. The difference between what was estimated and what is actual is the cost variance. Cost budgeting allows the project manager and management to track the cost baseline of the project.
