Abstract
Project costing is about the accounting of costs incurred on a project for the purpose of controlling them and planning the optimum utilization of resources. Cost centers in an organization are identified. All projects executed belong to one of the cost centers. Direct costs of an IT project, such as people and materials, are identified. The costs of an organization´s support services and other overheads are pro-rated to the cost centers and from there to the projects within the cost centers, using the direct method of cost allocation
