In the context of Figure 4, the P50 cost is represented as âcâ dollars. The P50 estimate is one with equal chance of project overruns or underruns up till when the project scope can be finalised. The P90 value is an estimate of the project cost based on a 90% probability that the cost will not be exceeded.his arises as the P90 cost estimation was adopted at the early stage during project scoping. Had the P50 cost estimate been adopted, there would have been a deviation of $7 million between the actual ($69 million) and budgeted P50 figure ($62 million). The project would have been under-budgeted.
Classified estimates are estimates within the envelope of uncertainty when it is possible to make risk-based predictions of a possible range of the project outcome in both cost and schedule. For a single project the P50 estimate means a 50% probability of cost and schedule overrun.When these projects are accumulated into a portfolio the underruns and overruns even out to a level where money and resources are used as efficiently as possible.n an analysis of 1,200 IT projects completed over the past 5 years, on average, these projects turned out 8% under their approved budget and took 21% longer than their approved schedule. This means that too much money and resources are claimed and claimed resources become later available then planned.
