1 Define your scope

The first step to manage a project with a limited budget is to define your scope clearly and realistically. Scope is the extent of work that needs to be done to achieve the project objectives. You should identify the key deliverables, requirements, assumptions, constraints, and risks of your project. You should also prioritize the most critical and valuable features and functions of your product or service, and avoid scope creep or unnecessary changes that can increase costs and delay schedules.

2 Estimate your costs

The next step is to estimate your costs based on your scope and available resources. Costs include direct and indirect expenses related to labor, materials, equipment, facilities, subcontractors, and overhead. You should use reliable data and methods to calculate your costs, such as historical records, industry benchmarks, expert opinions, or parametric models. You should also add a contingency reserve to cover unexpected or unplanned costs that may arise during the project.

Identifying and resisting preferential change helps control the scope and the cost. Making sure you get paid for all the work you do, along with the cost impacts to schedule are essential in keeping the budget tight.

The most critical and tricky part of the estimate is capturing and building in the total estimate value the uncertainties and risks inherent to any pricing, esp. if it is being spent over a period in future. All such risks are usually priced and kept in a contingency bucket for treating the risks in future, as they materialize.

3 Set your budget

After estimating your costs, you should set your budget and allocate it to different activities and phases of your project. Your budget is the approved amount of money that you can spend on your project. You should ensure that your budget is realistic, feasible, and aligned with your scope and objectives. You should also communicate your budget to your stakeholders, sponsors, and team members, and get their approval and support.

4 Track and control your spending

Once you have set your budget, you should track and control your spending throughout the project. You should use tools and techniques such as cost variance analysis, earned value management, or budget performance reports to monitor your actual costs versus your planned costs, and measure your cost performance and efficiency. You should also identify and resolve any issues or problems that may cause cost overruns or underutilization, such as delays, errors, rework, waste, or poor quality.

This is called lump-sum execution - and is the most important part of project success. Making sure every team member understands the concept and is able to manage the scope and cost during execution will determine the outcome of the project. While cost engineers track the cost, controlling it and managing to budget is everyone's responsibility.

5 Optimize your resources

Another way to manage a project with a limited budget is to optimize your resources and use them wisely and effectively. Resources include human, physical, financial, and informational assets that are needed to complete your project. You should plan, schedule, and coordinate your resources to ensure that they are available, sufficient, and suitable for your project. You should also leverage your existing resources, such as reusable components, shared facilities, or internal expertise, and avoid unnecessary or excessive use of resources.

6 Seek opportunities for savings

The final tip to manage a project with a limited budget is to seek opportunities for savings and cost reduction wherever possible. You should look for ways to improve your processes, methods, and techniques to increase your productivity, quality, and efficiency. You should also negotiate with your suppliers, vendors, and contractors to get the best deals and discounts for your materials, equipment, and services. You should also explore alternative or innovative solutions that can meet your requirements and expectations at a lower cost.

The timeline or the Schedule - typically cost is well discussed and understood. What is not well understood that how much impact on cost an execution decision and resulting schedule changes may have. And of course, any change in schedule corresponds to a cost which is often overlooked and cumulates to impact the project bottom line.
