Establish a budget and figure the return on investment (ROI)

• Control costs at each stage of the project; savings accrue at each step as you simplify your requirements

• If you are having trouble with justifying ROI

  • Scale back project scope

  • Look for simpler, more affordable solutions

  • Lease rather than buy
