- Your budget along with scope and schedule is one of the three major constraints you must manage to control your project. Stumble with budget management and you'll quickly lose decision making authority over your project. Hi, I'm Bob McGannon and this is Project Management Foundations Budget, one of the 10 knowledge areas highlighted in the project management body of knowledge. In my 30 years of project management delivering projects on three continents, your budget typically gets the most management attention.

Lose control of your budget and the value of your project will quickly diminish. We need to work hard to avoid that uncomfortable fate. So let's make sure you can manage your budget so it doesn't manage you.
