Using Our Project Reporting Software

Project reporting software gives you the power to view the health of a project through various metrics, such as overall status, costs, progress, tasks completed and more. It helps keep your project on track, and opens a channel to communicate with stakeholders.



ProjectManager.com has one-click, real-time reporting that provides accurate measurements for your project. Here’s how it works.

1. Set Working Days, Budget, Default Rates At the start of your project, set the working days on your project timeline. Then, add the budget and default rates to create a figure to calculate planned vs. actual spend.

2. Invite Team & Set Labor Costs Next, invite your team to the software—they’ll be notified by email. Set their pay rate, and you’ll have data to track their labor costs when executing tasks.

3. Designate Holidays You can set holidays to block out dates on your calendar, including global holidays, when teams aren’t available to work. This provides data for the availability report.

4. Make Your Project Plan Now you can start making your project plan. Import a task list, or use our industry-specific templates to get you started. Set task durations, milestones and link dependencies to create your schedule.

5. Add Task Costs & Set Baseline Calculate the planned costs for each task, then set a baseline to your project. Now, as your team updates their progress on tasks, you can see the actual costs of your project against what you planned.

6. Define Planned Effort for Your Team Define the planned effort you expect for your team to complete each task in the project. Reports will then reflect the progress for each task as updates are filed by your team.

7. Ensure Your Team Updates Status To get accurate data, make sure your team is logging their hours on tasks and updating task statuses. This data is needed to automatically calculate your project’s progress.

8. Check Dashboards Regularly Check your dashboards for a high-level view of your project or portfolio. Here, you can view project metrics to quickly see if you’re on track. Our real-time dashboards collect data and convert it into easy-to-read graphs and charts.

9. Generate Reports At frequent intervals, generate reports on project variance, status and more to get deeper into the data. Automatic reports reflect your team’s updates as they’re filed. Add filters to show just the information you want, then easily share it with stakeholders.
