This course consist of two parts. The fist part is a theoretical explanation based on the cost management chapter from PMBOK (the book that is used for PMP certificate) and the second part is a practical example about how to apply the theoretical part..
Both parts talk about three main topics:
-
How to estimate costs for activities in the project, which also include:
-
Types of Costs
-
Estimating costs tools and techniques.
-
Handling Risk Reserves costs
-
Cost of Quality
-
Documenting the costs basis of estimates
-
-
How to determine project budget, which also include:
-
Determine cost baseline
-
Estimate funding requirements
-
