How much work, how many tasks are completed, and what’s left to be done. To learn more about this report, see Create a burndown report.

Cost Overview

The current cost status of your project and its top-level tasks, showing planned costs, remaining costs, actual costs, cumulative costs, baseline costs, and percentage of completion to help you determine if your project will stay within budget.

Project Overview

How much of your project is complete, upcoming milestones, and tasks that are past due (late tasks).

Upcoming tasks

The work that has been done in the current week, the status of any remaining tasks that were due, and what tasks are starting in the next week.

Work Overview

A work burndown for your project and the work stats for all top-level tasks so you’ll know the percentage of completion and what’s left to be done.

Overallocated Resources

The work status for all overallocated resources, showing their actual work and remaining work. You can then try to resolve these overallocations in the Team Planner View.

Resource Overview

The work status of all people (work resources) who are working on your project so you’ll know how much work is complete and what’s left to be done.

Cash Flow

The costs and cumulative costs per quarter for all top-level tasks. Use the Field List to show other costs or different time periods.

Cost Overruns

The cost variance for all top-level tasks and work resources, and indicates where actual costs exceed the baseline costs.

Earned Value Report

Earned value, variance, and performance indices over time, comparing costs and schedules to a baseline to determine if your project is on track.

Resource Cost Overview

The cost status of work resources (people and material), showing cost details in a table and cost distribution data in a chart.

Task Cost Overview

The cost status of top-level tasks, showing cost details in a table and cost distribution data in a chart.

Critical Tasks

All tightly scheduled tasks that are listed as critical on your project’s critical path, meaning that any delay in such tasks will cause the schedule to slip.

Late Tasks

All tasks that started or finished later than their scheduled start and finish dates and that aren’t progressing as planned.

Milestone Report

All tasks in your project that have milestones, showing which of them are late, due, or completed.

Slipping Tasks

All tasks in your project that are taking longer to complete than expected and have a finish date that’s later than their baseline finish date.
