You are finalizing the project budget for the construction of a new community center. You've aggregated your work package estimates and included the contingency reserves for identified risks. Knowing that the project could face unforeseen challenges given the innovative sustainable materials being used, what is your NEXT step to finalize the budget?
Allocate remaining funds to quality assurance for the materials used.
Adjust the contingencies based on expert judgment, careful to avoid over-budgeting.
Reduce the project scope to align with estimated costs and existing contingency reserves.
Add management reserves to the budget to cover unforeseen work within the scope of the project.
After aggregating work package estimates and adding contingency reserves, the next step is considering the need for management reserves. The management reserve is intended for unforeseen work that is within the scope of the project. This will address the 'unknown-unknowns' and is part of the overall project budget, but not the cost baseline until it's needed and approved for use.
