This project is working to improve the processes for capturing and reporting actual costs within a Project Management System. The project aims to solve the problem of unreliable cost data due to current deficient processes. The scope includes IT projects that use Earned Value Management and report results. Key deliverables in the Define phase included a thought process map, stakeholder analysis, SIPOC diagram, and definitions of critical quality aspects. The project is on schedule but slightly behind in the Define phase due to data collection. It remains on budget with $69,300 spent so far out of a $522,000 budget.
