For those of you that work in an Agile environment, how do you handle budgets/cost control?

Currently, my company has a process in which individual IT projects are estimated, reviewed and approved. The projects are then worked by IT with clear start/end dates. If we want a phase 2, we need to go back thru the review/approval process (and compete with other dept requests)

I am trying to press us to work towards a more Agile flow, but I think the hold up is going to be wanting a clear cost control. They want each effort estimated, with IT billing time per project.

If your IT team is Agile, how is budget/cost managed?

Hello - I will be coming to Portland at the end of July to run the Beach-Beacon road race. I am excited to visit this town - I have never been to Portland (or Maine).

Any suggestions for things to do/places to stay for a single person. I’ll be traveling solo.
