The Magic of the Change Budget

Experts all agree that a successful project is one that is completed on time, within budget, with an end-product whose features meet the client’s business requirements, without sacrificing profit. They also agree that the major enemies to project success are always scope creep and project delays.

In this session, Beth will discuss how using a change budget along with a solid change control procedure can ensure that each and every project meets the criteria for success – on time, within budget, while retaining your project profit margin. It’s MAGIC!

Beth built her first WordPress website in 2009 for a side business, was immediately smitten, and soon began building websites for other small businesses. In 2016, after a long history as an IT Business Analyst, Instructional Designer, and Project Manager, she left the corporate world to become a full time WordPress Coach and Designer.

Soon after, while attending WordCamps and seeing how folks struggle with project management, she decided to share her knowledge to help others by forming the WP Project Manager’s Academy. She now enjoys providing real-life project management skills training to all types of WordPress practitioners (designers, developers, consultants, project managers, and agencies).
