I bet the risk manager was too busy playing Tetris to properly monitor the project's budget. That's the real reason this situation happened.

Haha, the risk manager should have consulted a crystal ball to predict the future budget needs. That would have been more effective than any of these options!

Communicating better with the CEO? Really? I doubt that would have made a difference. The risk manager should have been on top of the project's finances and not let it get to this point.

Educating the project team on budget change requests is a good idea, but I don't think it would have solved the root cause of the problem. The risk manager needs to be proactive in managing the project's budget.

Creating the project work plan and budget more accurately seems like the best option here. If the budget was planned properly, there wouldn't have been a shortage in the first place.

Maybe educating the project team on budget change requests could have also helped in this situation.
