DETERMINE BUDGET
Determine Budget is the process of aggregating the estimated costs of individual activities or work packages
to establish an authorized cost baseline. The key benefit of this process is that it determines the cost baseline
against which project performance can be monitored and controlled. The inputs, tools and techniques, and
outputs of this process are depicted in Figure 7-6. Figure 7-7 depicts the data flow diagram of the process.
A project budget includes all the funds authorized to execute the project. The cost baseline is the
approved version of the time-phased project budget, but excludes management reserves.
DETERMINE BUDGET: INPUTS
• COST MANAGEMENT PLAN

Described in Section 7.1.3.1.

The cost management plan is a component of the project management plan and describes how
the project costs will be planned, structured, and controlled. The cost management processes and
their associated tools and techniques are documented in the cost management plan.

The cost management plan describes how the project costs will be managed and controlled.
• SCOPE BASELINE
 PROJECT SCOPE STATEMENT

Formal limitations by period for the expenditure of project funds can be mandated by the
organization, by agreement (Section 12.2.3.2), or by other entities such as government
agencies. These funding constraints are reflected in the project scope statement.
 WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE

The WBS (Section 5.4) provides the relationships among all the project deliverables and
their various components.
The WBS is a hierarchical decomposition of the total scope of work to be carried out by the
project team to accomplish the project objectives and create the required deliverables. The
WBS organizes and defines the total scope of the project, and represents the work specified
in the current approved project scope statement.
 WBS DICTIONARY

The WBS dictionary (Section 5.4.3.1) and related detailed statements of work provide an
identification of the deliverables and a description of the work in each WBS component required to
produce each deliverable.
The WBS dictionary is a document that provides detailed deliverable, activity, and scheduling
information about each component in the WBS. The WBS dictionary is a document that supports the
WBS.
