Reporting in project management is an essential tool for monitoring, controlling and communicating projects. It ensures that everyone involved - from the project team to the management - is informed about the current status and can make decisions based on sound data.
PlainPPM contains a wide variety of reports, such as the one shown below for idea management. This provides decision-makers with an overview of existing ideas grouped by department and status. There is also a graphical and tabular representation with regard to strategic impact, budget, project size, effort, etc.
Why is reporting important in project management?
- Transparency about project status for all parties involved
- Early detection of risks and bottlenecks
- Better decision-making through data-based analyses
- More efficient communication with stakeholders
- Optimisation of processes and resources
- Long-term knowledge retention for future projects
Conclusion
Reporting is a strategic tool for managing and optimising projects. Well thought-out reporting ensures that all relevant information is communicated to the right people at the right time and in the right form. This makes a significant contribution to the successful realisation of a project.
