In this course, you'll continue developing your project management skills by establishing project costs and cost baselines, reconciling funding and costs, and determining the burn rate for adaptive teams. You'll also create a risk management plan, identify risks and triggers, analyze risks, and develop a risk response plan. Then, you'll deliver project results and verify compliance requirements.

At this point in the planning of your project, you have used the Predictive and Adaptive methods for creating a project schedule and an initial Release Plan. Along with scheduling, sound project management requires the ability to accurately estimate the cost of the project. In this lesson, you will learn about costs analysis and budgets in Predictive projects and burn rates in Adaptive projects to monitor the costs as the project is executed.
