A project budget is the total projected costs needed to complete a project over a defined period of time. It’s used to estimate what the costs of the project will be for every phase of the project. The project budget will include such things as labor costs, material procurement costs and operating costs.

Definition: Budget reporting is a process that entails comparing financial achievements over a given period with targeted or estimated figures. By comparing the actual and estimated figures, owners, executives, or investors can ascertain whether a business is on track to achieve its objectives.

Here’s how to get started: Open your Microsoft Project plan. The simple plan below has budgeted costs, actual costs, and the cost variance included for each task: Double-click the OnePager Pro icon on your desktop to start building your project budget report. From the Start screen that pops up, choose New .

Microsoft Project can help you track the budget for your project plan, but does not create cost variance reports that are easy to read or understand. Project reporting apps like OnePager Pro import your budget and cost variance information from Microsoft Project and create colorful budget charts that are easy for busy executives to understand.

Click the Create New Chart button, and OnePager Pro automatically imports your information from Microsoft Project to create an initial project timeline: Now, we want to format the report to call out items that are over or under budget. Go to Home > Chart Properties > Task Bars, and click on the Manage Rules button.

Select that project summary task and then click the “Assign Resources” button on the toolbar. Next, select the two budget resources created earlier in this tutorial and then click the “Assign” button. When that is done, click the “Close” button. The budget resources are now assigned to the project. Now it is time to create values for each one.
