As a started, I am not very sure of how to apply few methods such as EVM, cost management etc. even though I understand the gravity of this theoretically. You know when it comes to finance, people are not given enough information on this especially which means you don't have access to these and you are not able to implement it. So, I think trying out this is quite difficult. Suggestions invited

When it comes to sticky subjects, if you can;t get good advice from senior PM's as Kiron suggests (which is probably the best way), you could try and look at some of the previous projects and look at their budgets or cost management plans.

Thanks

Your core issue seems to be the lack of information to feed into the calculations. It is a common issue (especially) in non-projectised organisations - where functional boundaries are more opaque.

This problem can also manifest itself in a projectised organisation where there is no drive from the top management for a view of the various portfolios and the performance of all the programs and projects within.

Establishing a communication channel would be a necessary step to enable the information flow. This would require buy-in from senior stakeholders (especially those who can transcend organisational boundaries). To get this sponsorship, it is imperative to showcase the value of such analysis - so a use case needs to be prepared as the very first step (template, demo data, recommended decision matrix based on index scores, etc.).

All the best.
