There are several scenarios that can cause deadline or budget breaches that TBST is prepared for:

Unexpected events, or unknown quantities

• Every project we engage in, we sopce the unknowns as much as possible to avoid surprises. To support this, we also reccomend contingency budgets to accomodate worst case scenarios and reccomend that our clients prepare a process to help define whether to access this contingency if required or recomended.
• We provide fixed amount costs where possible, and define clear paramters for hourly charges.
• Part of onboarding inlcudes a discussion on potential risks with the obejctive of creating plans to avoid or mitigate.

Alternative millestones
Discussing alternative milestones is another technique we employ to manage missed dealines or budget overage.

Options include:

• Reducing scope of initial delivery
• Staging releases
• Researching alternative solutions
