Hello there, I need some help with a technical question about IT.

"A variance envelope has been established on a project"

In the above sentence, what does "a variance envelope" mean?

Thank you in advance

Greetings.

I don't think that this is a question about IT. I think it's a question about management of any project (IT, construction, whatever). I believe that what I'm about to type is correct, but please don't bet your life on it.

When estimates are made (such as cost estimates), the percentage by which the actual result is permitted to vary from the estimate can also be specified. For example, the permitted variance in cost might be specified as no more than 5% below or 10% above the estimate. This is the variance envelope.
