Description
Effective decision-making in projectised environments requires a clear understanding of time, cost, and resource constraints. This subject examines how project costs are estimated, budgeted, monitored, and managed from initiation through to closure. Students will explore contemporary cost management practices including estimating techniques, direct and indirect costs, cost planning and budgeting, earned value management (EVM), and financing approaches. The subject emphasises real-world application, equipping students to support value-for-money outcomes and maintain financial performance across the project lifecycle.
