Completion requirements
This chapter discusses a variety of tasks and techniques that the project manager must use when managing the project schedule. Tracking and reporting the project, as well as resource leveling, are discussed.
Tracking and Reporting Progress
Tracking the schedule performance involves measuring the work performed against the work expected to be performed with a given expenditure of resources. Periodic reporting on the progress of the project provides the project management team with information on how the project is performing against expectations and to make decisions and corrections. Accurate measurement of schedule performance requires planning during the early stages of the project to determine the unit of measure and process for tracking progress.
