EXAMPLEThere is a chance that the project cost will exceed the amount that the company has budged for the work.Joe AgileguyIf the expected work remaining will cost more than $9,000 over budget we will need to seek additional funding from management. Financial236We will not be able to secure funding necessary to complete the project. Work may stop before MVP has been achieved. Product may never get to market and be deemed a total failure.MitigateWhen estimated cost for MVP is within 5K of approved project total we will begin seeking additional funding.Jimmy KanbanMeet with key stakeholders to review finished product, total spend to date, work remaining and expected total spend. Ask for additional funding to complete work.Given that our team has a mostly stable velocity, a proven ability to meet commitments and deliver value, we expect the answer to be yes provided the total amount requests is less than $25K.
