Real Time IT Budgets Versus Annual Budgets

November 24, 2008 · Filed Under IT Estimating  - 0 Comment(s)

Interesting article on Eweek. “That elusive IT budget is more elusive than ever. It looks to me like the idea of the yearly budget is totally trashed in favor of a real time budget, updated all the time and as fluid as the economic news of the day. That may not be the best way to get projects moving and completed on time, but it is the current reality.”

All the more reason to understand the realities of projects and the cost / benefits of starts and stops with SEER.
