Cost Estimating
Cost estimating and Pricing:
Cost estimating: how much will it cost the performing
organization to provide the product or service
involved?
Pricing: how much will the performing organization
charge for the product or service? Business decision.
Estimating should be done by the person doing
the work.

Cost Budgeting
The cost baseline will be used to measure and
monitor cost performance of the project.

Estimates vs. Accuracy

Tools for Estimating (and
Budgeting)
Top Down Accuracy depends on experience
Estimating Fast, but estimates are rough
Slow, but reliable
Bottom Up High cost (time) / WBS needed
Estimating
Buy-in from the team
Mathematical models to predict costs
Parametric
Two types: REGRESSION ANALYSIS,
Modeling
and LEARNING CURVE
Delphi Expert judgment
Method Tasks need not to be identified
(analogous) Considerable experience needed
Cost Control
Monitor Cost Performance
Detect and understand variances from plan
Ensure all changes are recorded and
agreed upon
Prevent bogus changes from being
included in cost baseline
Inform stakeholders of authorized changes
Bring costs within acceptable limits

Key concepts:
EV = Earned Value (BCWP)
Direct Costs
Related “Directly” to the project
ex. Labor hours, material, equipment,
food, travel. . .
Indirect Costs
Overhead used for more than one project
ex. Building rent, taxes, janitorial
services
Cost Types

Cost Types
Project Costs
Are incurred while the project is being
fulfilled.
Sunk Costs
Forget ‘em, they’re gone

Cost and Project Selection
Present Value
• Is $10,000 in your pocket now worth more than the
$10,000 in your pocket one year from now?
• Yes! You can use the money now to make more
money. The 10,000 in a year from now should be
“discounted” to the present, since it’s not worth as
much.

PMP Exam Questions
You have 4 projects from which to chose
1. Project A is a 5 year project with an
NPV of $80,000. Project B is a 2 year
project with an NPV of $40,000. Project C
is a 4 year period and has an NPV of
$50,000. Project D is being done over 1
year and has an NPV of $70,000.
