Frequently asked questions

How do I handle reporting on projects that are behind schedule?

Be transparent about delays while focusing on solutions. Clearly identify which specific elements are behind schedule, explain the root causes rather than assigning blame, and outline concrete steps you’re taking to get back on track with realistic revised timelines.

What information should I include in the variance explanation for budget reporting?

Focus on explaining significant differences between planned and actual spending. Identify specific cost categories with variances over 10%, explain the underlying causes (market changes, scope adjustments, unexpected challenges), and note whether the variance is a one-time issue or requires ongoing budget adjustments.

How can I make my action items section more effective for accountability?

Make each action item specific and measurable with a clear owner and deadline. Instead of “improve communication,” write “Create weekly update email template for stakeholders.” Limit actions to what’s truly important, and follow up on previous items before adding new ones.
