Appendix Learning Objectives

After reading this appendix, you will be able to:

  • Determine the appropriate reporting plan

  • Measure and analyze variances from the project plan

  • Know how to use milestone trend charts

  • Understand and use cost/schedule control

Note

Most of the material in this appendix is an abridged version of Chapter 10 from my earlier work Effective Project Management: Traditional, Adaptive, Extreme, Third Edition (Wiley, 2003). It is presented here for completeness so that this book may be used as a text for an introductory course in software project management. For courses requiring more detail on these topics, the earlier work may be used as a companion text.
