It is seen that using bottom up and top down estimation, the overall budget is almost the same but in bottom up, the value is slightly higher. Hence, it is important to keep some additional budget to compensate for the extra.
Based on the top down estimation, the initial budget is too low and must be increased. Hence, a formal request must be placed for increasing the budget considering the additional value found in bottom up.
The estimate is shown in the following table.
