This document outlines a cost mind map for planning, estimating, determining budgets, and controlling costs on a project. It lists techniques for each process such as expert judgment, data analysis, analogous and parametric estimating, bottom-up estimating, and earned value analysis. The goal is to establish a cost baseline and control costs against that baseline through monitoring work performance, change requests, and cost forecasts.
