A project manager approached me recently with a problem. She knew that some of the data that was being submitted in internal reports was — frankly — made up. It was made up with the best intentions from educated guesses and extrapolation. It’s probably fairer and less controversial to say that it was ‘estimated’ rather than created totally randomly from scratch.

Nowadays, planning for a project is as important as creating a project proposal. You can’t just dive into the project blindly and realize at a later stage that it wasn’t worth investing in. Thus, it is necessary to create a great project proposal for its success of it. The more prepared you are the better it is for the team and decision-makers to achieve the goals and objectives of the company.

What if you had to handle projects on the go, without a plan, organization, or any order? You would just brief your team, tell them what needs to be done, and they will be on board with everything you just proposed! This is how things work in an ideal business setting.

Project management standards such as the PMBOK® Guide, Sixth Edition state that contingency reserves, which are established to offset the cost or schedule impacts of realized identified risks, are considered part of the project budget and cost baseline. As the project manager is authorized to spend the budget as planned, it is assumed that they have the ability to draw upon contingency reserves directly as risks are realized.

Imagine you’re a CIO, CTO, IT Leader, or Finance Manager. You prepare an annual operating plan outlining your budget and allocations every year. Once the dust settles and everything is agreed to, you are asked to do more with less. Everything after that is chaos. WHERE THE PLAN GOES WRONG. Projects that you targeted did not start when you planned. Unplanned events, outages, and work eat at the money you planned to invest in a new value.

Without it, teams will likely struggle to deliver a Done increment each Sprint.
