Project Planning is one of the most significant and crucial parts of Project Management. Planning depends on the Project Manager and project leads knowing how they drive the project. This often changes from project to project and team to team, so having a framework to enforce policies and best practice for the team to use becomes critical for the organizations.
The accuracy of Project Planning mainly depends on:
– How well the project goals are defined and understood by project team
– How well the activities and techniques are defined to achieve these goals thus optimizing your resources, cost, and schedule
These two factors vary by different types of projects which is explained in the graph below

The Weekly Status Report is embedded into the Project Workspace. Project Managers can generate the weekly status report whenever they want. The report summarizes the Risk, Issues, Milestones and Current Week Task Summary in an attractive report.
Under Weekly Project Summary, A.K.A. Executive Brief, the Project Manager can enter the highlights of the week’s project activities, major decision, and explanation of the KPIS. The Report is created when the Project Manager clicks on the Create Report button at the bottom. When the report is created, and everything is to the Project Manager’s satisfaction, they use the Save & Copy button.
