Follow the steps above to select your control project and then the project you want to compare against. You can compare any two projects against each other. See how you are progressing against the original plan or compare increases from month to month.
Strategic changes can be initiated once the size of a problem can be identified.
Look at some of the reports on this page to get an idea of the kinds of information that can be generated here.
