What is a Contingency Reserve?

A contingency reserve is a budgeted amount set aside within a project to address identified risks that may occur during the project lifecycle. These are typically known-unknowns—risks that have been identified and analyzed, but whose exact impact is uncertain. Examples include:

Delays due to weather
Cost overruns on specific tasks
Resource availability issues

Contingency reserves are part of risk management planning and are distinct from management reserves, which are used for unforeseen or unknown-unknown risks.

Risk Identification and Tracking:

dotProject allows you to define and track project risks, which is the first step in determining the need for a contingency reserve.

Task and Time Management:

By tracking task progress and time spent, you can identify early signs of risk materialization and adjust contingency usage accordingly.

Reporting and Dashboards:

Custom reports can help visualize how much of the contingency reserve has been used, what risks triggered its use, and how it impacts the overall project budget.

Collaboration and Documentation:

Team members can document risk responses and decisions related to contingency usage, ensuring transparency and accountability.
