[p 644] "Some people confuse the management reserve with the definition of a “reserve” or “contingency” fund. In the author's opinion, the management reserve is controlled by the project manager of the performing organization and used for escalations in salaries, raw material prices, and overhead rates. The management reserve may also be used for unforeseen problems that may occur. The management reserve should not be used to cover up bad planning estimates or budget overruns."
[p 645] "Also, the management reserve should not be used for scope changes. Scope changes should be paid for out of the CUSTOMER’S RESERVE or contingency fund. In other words, the management reserve generally applies to the performing organization, whereas the contingency reserve is controlled by the customer for the scope changes that may be requested by the performing organization."
