- Poor Planning: Inadequate initial planning can lead to budget overruns. Make sure to outline clear project scopes and timelines from the start.
- Scope Creep: When project requirements change without proper documentation or approval, costs can skyrocket. Stay vigilant against scope creep to avoid budget explosions.
- Resource Mismanagement: Inefficient allocation of resources can drain your budget quickly. Monitor resource usage closely to prevent unnecessary expenses.
