This week, we will be addressing a very simple, but very important question that comes up as part of managing a project — “How are we doing thus far?”This is a question that will surely be asked by a number of your stakeholders. Unfortunately, “we’re doing o.k.” is not an acceptable answer — especially if millions of dollars are at stake. Thus, we need some tools with in our arsenal that will allow us to intelligently answer this question.As we embark upon this week’s topic, I am sure you will learn a whole new aspect of project management that you may have had no exposure to up to this point. Enjoy!
