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 favorite 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.
Gantt charts in Projectmanagemenetcompanion.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, you can create a status report with just one click. The status reports show every essential metric including planned effort, actual effort, total budget, 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.
