Project Budget Report Process Motivation New
Frontiers
• Due to the timing of official budgetary documents, budget changes inevitably occur
up to the printing of the Program Resource Guidance (PRG)
• Preparing the Program Planning Budget Execution (PPBE) and other budget
submits in this environment can be a complex, time-consuming, and a frustrating
activity
– Reconciling the project budget history at the program and project levels
– Identifying and correcting errors
– Ensuring 100% confidence in each project budget
• Additionally, the lack of clear, complete trace of project budget changes hinders
program office ability to study project cost increases
– Understanding the drivers behind cost increases
– Tracing the effects of NASA process changes on life cycle cost
Solution:
Project Budget Report (PBR) and Quarterly Budget Status (QBS) processes

Project Budget Report (1 of 3) New
Frontiers
• Used to document and communicate each project’s funding profile and
adjustments over the life of the project
− Created and maintained by the Program Office (PO)
− Distributed by the PO to Headquarters (HQ) and projects
− A budget tracking tool, not a funding authorization by NASA
• PBR serves as an acknowledgement of the approved project new obligation
authority (NOA) profile and any adjustments made to the profile
− Issued at the beginning of each fiscal year and revised throughout the year to
capture all funding changes
− Supporting documentation referenced
− Explanatory comments included to provide understanding and traceability
− Has played a major role in helping to prevent budget and funding misunderstandings
and errors
− Signed by the Principal Investigator (when applicable), Project Manager, Program
Manager, and Program Director at the beginning of each FY and after a project re-
plan or major funding adjustment
• Documents a project’s life cycle cost by fiscal year, phase, and implementing
organizations

• Reflects the current fiscal year budget transactions, including any
adjustments to the approved NOA and distributions
− Reports the current fiscal year only
− Reflects NOA, any adjustments, and funding distributions by Center
− Reports are distributed to HQ, PO, and Project Manager/Principal Investigator
• Comments are added to fully document the reasoning or purpose of any
adjustment to the approved NOA to maintain our understanding of the profile
and any changes to the profile over the life of the project
• QBS is not signed; distributed quarterly by the PO
• QBS has improved the tracking and analysis of the current fiscal year funding
levels
− Reports detail funding transactions for all project partners
− QBS (and PBR) creates a funding trace for each project
− Provides details of all funding transactions during current FY
− Like the PBR, has played a major role in helping to prevent budget and funding

Project Budget Report Benefits New

• PBR Documents a project’s life cycle cost by fiscal year, phase, and
implementing organizations
• QBS has improved the tracking and analysis of the current fiscal year funding
levels
• Together, the PBR and QBS have
– Cut the time required to develop the program PPBE budget by more than 50%
– Reduced the time required to verify and distribute funds to the project organizations
by 50%
– Ensured 100% agreement and confidence in each project budget and the distribution
of funds by both program and project management
– Proven to be a valuable record of the project or programmatic budget, facilitating
data mining
The PBR has proven so successful,
it is being implemented for other SMD programs
