Program Budget

Even with data migration now permanently owned by a dedicated specialist (P. Haddad), a short Sprint 7 contractor surge (CR-02) was still needed for the final push — the same event as before the staffing correction, now layered on top of a real team instead of substituting for one. The two categories with cost impact — Cloud Infrastructure (+$18,000) and Data Migration Contractor Support (+$42,000) — both trace to approved Change Requests (CR-01 and CR-02). See the Change Control Log for full detail. Both were absorbed within the Contingency Reserve, which is why the program closed 2.2% under its current baseline despite two approved cost increases.

The "Baseline" column in the Cost by Category table above shows each category's original pre-CR allocation — which is exactly why Cloud Infrastructure ($110,000 baseline, $128,000 actual) and Data Migration Contractor Support ($0 baseline, $42,000 actual) show variance of precisely +$18,000 and +$42,000: those two variances are CR-01 and CR-02, fully accounted for with no unexplained overrun beyond what was approved. Full impact detail for both is in the Change Control Log. CR-03 (extending the pre-cutover compliance review window) was schedule-only and carried no budget impact, which is why it doesn't appear in this reconciliation. The $3,653,000/$3,713,000 figures already reflect the DEC-06 staffing correction (13→28 people) made before Sprint 1 Planning — that correction is not itself a Change Request, since it predates any approved baseline and is documented instead in the RAIDD Log.

The full 28-person named roster, per-person blended rate, FTE%, and program cost lives in the Team Resource Plan — reproducing it here as a second table risked drifting out of sync with the authoritative version, which is exactly what happened to this section before the DEC-06 correction. The category subtotals above ($432,000 / $1,279,000 / $1,279,000) trace directly to that roster's own subtotals with zero variance.
