Final Remarks
Budgeting
It is necessary to track how much money has been spent on the project to make sure you are on budget.
Budgeting helps us stay on schedule and on task.
Budgeting determines the project timeline, more money = more time.
Scheduling
Creating and keeping track of each deadline allows you to stay on track throughout the project.
Accounting for each individual engineer’s available time is crucial.
Effective time management is important to project success.
