Abstract

[This chapter focuses on reporting processes and conceptual challenges to defining reports in a project environment. It delves on the complexity of the choices that are available to the project manager. We have, then, described a new framework that assists the project manager to define the right metrics. This Consulting Connoisseurs Simple Metric Definition Framework is then elaborated. The chapter then moves on to the Earned Value Analysis. We look at the problems with the EVA methodology and despite them, the chief reasons for its popularity. An accounting- centric approach, the EVA has a lot of information that does not really help the project manager translate his thoughts into action. We also touch upon certain scheduling issues including the concepts of retained logic and progress override.]
