"The Leaky Bucket Theory"
Principles of Industrial Project Management.
In large and complex projects, there is often the risk that money starts to flow out of the budget, like water out of a leaky bucket.
Here are some tips on how to mitigate this situation:
• Prevent scope creep early on, before construction or installation starts.
• Key team members must be cost-conscious, especially construction managers, site managers, and other such roles.
• Implement a rigid change management system.
Pay attention to your supplier size, i.e., your trusted vendors should have the correct size.
• Use the scope breakdown methods for process areas and sub-projects to your project's advantage.
