Few projects blow past their budgets simply because of overspend. More often it’s a symptom of misalignment, murky scope and churn.
Despite tightening budgets, boards aren’t saying no to every project - they’re just harder to convince. In a risk-averse market, sponsors need to frame the value clearly, show control and pick their moment to get a “yes.”
