Businesses may optimize the life cycle of a capital expenditure project by concentrating on three areas: capital strategy and portfolio optimization, project development and value enhancement, and project delivery and construction. Organizations must develop a transparent and carefully evaluated baseline and capital budget that provides a clear knowledge of the total capital expenditure budget for the next years, as well as realistic cost and time predictions for the organization's portfolio of capital projects.
