Balancing budgets and deadlines in architecture

I’ve been deep into project management for our current build and I’m curious about how others handle tight timelines without blowing the budget. Recently, we implemented a new software tool that helps track expenses in real-time, which has been a game changer for us. I’d love to hear what strategies have worked for your teams, especially when things get tense.
