# Analyze the status report in Project Workspace

Observe a status report in Project Workspace for your project to learn about project health, metrics, risks, issues, and milestones.

## Before you begin

Role required: it\_pps\_admin, it\_project\_manager

## About this task

The following are the headers in a report created using the Default status report template. A report created using the One-page status report template has fewer information headers.

|Aspect|Description|
|------|-----------|
|Overview|View a high-level summary of the project, including key details such as phase, health, and % completion.|
|Key Milestones|Track critical project milestones, comparing planned vs actual dates and identifying any variances.|
|Cost \(Planned vs Actual\)|Compare planned project costs to actual expenditures over time, helping identify budget deviations.|
|Resources \(Allocated vs Actual\)|Analyze planned resource allocation versus actual usage, helping identify resource over/under-utilization.|
|Schedule|Evaluate the project’s timeline, identifying delays and comparing planned vs actual task completion.|
|Risks|Assess potential risks, their probability, impact, and current mitigation plans.|
|Issues|Identify ongoing issues affecting the project, with ownership and target resolution dates.|
|Dependencies|Assess external or internal factors that could impact the project’s progress or completion.|

You can also compare two reports to compare and analyze the progress.
