In this course, you will learn how to design project performance reports that support governance and decision-making, interpret cost, schedule, risk, and benefit data using forward-looking indicators, and apply earned value concepts in a decision-oriented context. You will also build executive dashboards that highlight trends, confidence, and escalation triggers and communicate project performance clearly to senior stakeholders.

The course uses a practical, decision-focused methodology combining case studies, simulations, hands-on dashboard development, and real-world exercises. It emphasizes integrating cost, schedule, risk, and benefits perspectives through traditional and forward-looking indicators, focusing strongly on forecasting, confidence ranges, early warning signals, and executive storytelling.

This course is ideal for project managers, programme managers, PMO and EPMO professionals, project controls and planning specialists, cost engineers, portfolio analysts, business analysts, and project sponsors needing reliable project health insights. It is also valuable for senior leaders, functional managers, governance committee members, and finance partners interpreting reports for decision-making.
