5.5.2 Tracking Chart*

Visually, we can produce a tracking chart that illustrates the expected budget expenditures for this project by plotting the cumulative budgeted cost of the project against the baseline schedule. Figure 4.1 shows a simplified example of the plot and is another method for identifying the project baseline for schedule and budget over the anticipated life of the project.
