BUDGET TRACKING
Budget tracking and management is executed as part of the oversight phase of the fast track process. As a project proceeds, costs and expenditures must be tracked to ensure compliance with existing budgets. Left unchecked, budgets can quickly get out of control. The Budget Template quick tool is a PDF form used to quickly track and document project related spending for specific periods of time (and compared to planned spending).
