Assign Cost

There are two types of costs in RiskyProject: 

· Fixed costs, which are associated with tasks; and 
· Variable costs, which are associated with resources. 

See the About Cost Calculation in RiskyProject in Chapter 3 for a detailed explanation of how costs are calculated in RiskyProject.
Costs associated with resources are calculated based on rate, units assigned, and task duration.
You define and verify costs in the Cost view.

Tip: Define costs using the Cost (Base) field. Later, you can add uncertainties by assigning low and high durations. See Define Distributions for Start Time, Cost, and Duration for more information.
