Analytical Reports
Any change of activities in one project can affect the cost and resources available for other projects or the organization as a whole. That said, analytical technologies help project managers break down complex project data into manageable parts. As a result, organizations can predict future outcomes in real-time while keeping projects on schedule and budget.
Feasibility Report
Feasibility reports determine whether a project is economically, legally, and technically viable. Simply put, these reports give organizations a clear picture of whether a project is worth the investment or not by listing the positive and negative impacts associated. Feasibility reports are also extremely useful in matters of planning and defining project goals.
Progress Report
Also known as project status reports, progress reports offer a great avenue for project managers to track their project's progress. These reports are either prepared daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly. Depending on the project length, weekly and monthly reports help an organization identify any foreseeable risks and efficiently handle any cost management challenges.
