6. Resource planning: budget
• Description: The project budget is a detailed estimate
of all the costs required to complete project tasks. It is
much more detailed than the high-level budget
developed in the Initiate Stage. The typical budget
specifies costs for staff labor, materials procurement,
ongoing operating costs and other direct costs such as
travel or training.
• Reason: The detailed budget provides the project
sponsor with a best estimate of how much the project
will cost. The detail budget helps manage expectations
and gives the project sponsor information to develop a
cost/benefit for the project.

you need to understand it, that is to isolate the
problem to the situation

Conclusion
•The fate of the project after its completion.
Functioning of the project after the end of its funding.
•If the project is made only for very specific
circumstances, it is unlikely to be financed. Ideally, the
project will change the social order and to work on a
macro scale. Even if it is not, it should still work in more
than one place and more than one person.

“grantmaking” organizations

results

documentation, etc.)
