FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What is a cost baseline?
The approved, time-phased budget against which commitments, actuals and forecasts are measured; changes to it go through change control.
How is contingency drawn down?
Against realised risks and approved changes, through a governed drawdown process, with the remaining contingency compared with the remaining risk exposure.
