First let's talk about project success and what is generally acceptable in terms of coming in over budget. What's the threshold in your organisation? For me and the organisations I've worked with and for, a budget overrun of 10% at the end of the engagement has always been within the acceptable range. With some organisations it's been even higher, but I try never to set my bar so low that I'm striving for some level of mediocrity. So let's focus on that 10% number...does that sound about right for your organisation or PMO?
