3 Easy Ways to Track
Project Progress
Hi Friend,
Whenever I manage a project, I always look for
ways to gain more visibility into my project's progress to ensure success.
Here are my three favourite ways to measure
the progress of my project.
1) Gantt Charts
Gantt charts are great for planning, of
course, but a good Gantt chart will also give you a live look at task progress.
Static Gantt charts are just lifeless timelines, but online Gantt charts update
in real time and feature bar shading, indicating the completion percentage of
each task.
The selection of Gantt charts in Projectmanagementcompanion.com show you the date, the phase, the assignee, any
dependent tasks and the completion percentage all at a glance.
2) Project Dashboards
Project dashboards give me a bird's eye view
of my entire project. With my dashboard I can track slippage, workload
allocation and cost expenditure—just to name a few.
Having this unique view allows me to look at
my project's progress from a different angle, helping me address bottlenecks
and resource issues.
3) Status Reports
Reports are a project manager's best friend,
and few reports are more effective than a status report.
With Projectmanagementcompanion.com, I can create a status report with just one click. These status
reports show every essential metric including planned effort, actual effort,
total budget, and number of tasks remaining, WBS, milestones and more.
Given all the
aspects of a project that need to be tracked, I can't imagine keeping up
with my projects without these essential tools.
