When | A project manager wants a
more detailed look into
budgets and how they are
tracking. Ex. Your
project has
task lists for marketing,
product, and design. By
assigning budgets to each
list, you can see how each
department is tracking
against budget. |

Before you
start
- A project must have an active project
budget and at least one
active task
list in order
to create
task list
budgets.
- 🔑 Only owner company site admins can manage fixed fee budgets and their associated task list budgets.
- The task list budgets' combined value
(in a project) must
be less than or equal to
the project's overall
budget.
- Task list
budgets are:
- Unique
to
their associated project
budget.
- Directly
linked to their project’s
overall budget — they
inherit the budget type
(financial or time) from the
parent budget
and this cannot be
overridden.
- Not carried
over to future repeats
of
a recurring project budget.
