Example scenario: view project costing performance

CFOs want to ensure that you aren't overspending on specific projects from a high-level. By analyzing the Project Performance to Budget, you can quickly see how each project is performing against its budget. Alternatively, you can also use the Project Profitability report to view key information on profit statics per project.

Project analytics for project managers

Example scenario: tracking project completion and sales

Project managers want to know how each project is performing and get high-level information about them. The Project Overview report can help you compare key information across all projects.
