IT Project Cost/Benefit Calculator (Free Download)

Accurately calculating an IT project’s costs and benefits is among the most challenging of professional tasks. The practice requires expertise in planning and executing projects, developing budgets, and understanding how both costs and benefits change over the life of a technical initiative.

This IT Project Cost/Benefit Calculator, from TechRepublic Premium, provides a customizable spreadsheet for collecting and calculating IT project costs and benefits.

Costs are broken into three worksheets, one for each year, as are project benefits, since most IT projects require three years to demonstrate full maturity, cost climax, and return on investment. After three years, hardware and software editions age to the point that organizations must consider repeating the entire cost/benefit exercise. Cost/benefit totals are tabulated on the last worksheet to show return on investment figures at a glance.
