Communication failure

• The assumptions behind the estimate

  • Have not been adequately communicated

    • In the conversion-to-project-budget process
    • Or to those working on the project
  • Or actual work packages bear little relationship to estimator-planned work packages
  • Or activities start out-of-sequence

• Management reporting policies

  • Are inadequate for control

    • Until it is too late
  • Or the project cost reporting system is unresponsive

    • Or non-existent
