Pocket PMOProject budget tracking software for cost control
Keep budget conversations tied to project scope and delivery progress instead of isolated expense spreadsheets.
A connected workflow, not another isolated file
Pocket PMO keeps project management techniques close to the rest of the project record so decisions can be based on consistent data.
- Monitor project costs against budget expectations
- Connect cost tracking to EVM and project status
- Surface budget pressure before it becomes a surprise
How teams use it
- Step 1
Define the project budget and major cost categories.
- Step 2
Track expenses and budget movement during delivery.
- Step 3
Review budget status together with schedule and risk signals.
Frequently asked questions
What makes project budget tracking different from accounting?
Project budget tracking focuses on delivery decisions, scope, progress, and forecast risk. Accounting systems focus on financial records and transactions.
Can budget tracking connect to EVM?
Yes. Earned value management combines your budget with completion data: each milestone’s planned value derives from its budget, earned value from how much of it is actually complete, and actual cost from recorded spend. Pocket PMO computes CPI and SPI from those inputs, so cost and schedule performance are read against the same baseline instead of a disconnected sheet.
How is project budget tracking different from finance tooling?
Finance tools record what was spent. Project budget tracking compares spend and commitments against the work actually delivered, so variances surface while they can still be managed. That delivery context is what lets a project manager forecast the final cost instead of only reporting the past.
