Early sight of deviation
The early signs of a budget or schedule problem are in the reports. The schedule-wise task summary shows planned and actual dates, SPI and variance against the baseline, and the cash outflow reports show committed against certified cost.
The portfolio summary adds the number of open issues for each project. An issue has a priority from low to critical, a responsible user and a target closure date, so the owner can see which problems are open and who owns them.
The A2 MIS task summary is a large-format period summary suited to display on a site board.
