Reading the chart

One glance tells you which way it’s going.

Each line follows one activity’s finish date across your updates, so the direction of the line is the story.

  • Trending up
  • Flat
  • Trending down
Trending up
Finish dates moving later: the activity is slipping.
Flat
Finish dates holding: the activity is on track.
Trending down
Finish dates moving earlier: ahead of schedule.

The table

The numbers behind every line.

Baseline finish, latest finish and variance sit beside the chart for every activity, so you can quote the exact slip.
