tracking budget tools

If I had a pound for every time someone asked me what tool I use for tracking my project budget…

Unfortunately, it’s one of those questions where the answer isn’t as clear cut as you might hope. In this video I talk through the challenge of choosing a tool and there’s a teeny rant about why ultimately it doesn’t much matter as long as you get on with tracking somehow and just make a decision!

What tool do you use to track your project budget? Let us know in the comments section!

It's very interesting, as a new PM I'm always wondering if there is some "magic" tool out there that can solve my tracking/monitoring needs, but it never fails that I just fall on Microsoft Excel. That way I can just build exactly what I need within my organization.
