The study of norms, models and international standards for project management and the realization of a diagnosis in Cuban companies that develop software, allowed characterizing the cost management in software projects in the Cuban software industry and at international level. A cost management framework was designed, which proposes activities, roles, responsibilities, methods, techniques, tools, guidelines and work products to help estimate and control costs in software development projects. The proposed framework is based on a process approach and the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle and includes an indicator´s system that support knowledge management in the organizations that use it. The UML modeling language was used to define the activities and a website was generated with the Eclipse Process Framework Composer to document the proposed result. The use of a cost management framework in software development projects facilitates the objective planning of costs and contributes to the execution of the project within the approved costs. The framework´s use contributes to the fulfillment of 15 specific requirements of the Cuban MCDAI standard related to cost management.
