On track until somebody checks

Anyone who runs a monthly project meeting knows this. The review is what each project manager typed in the week it was due, and on track means nothing has gone visibly wrong yet. The ERP and timesheets know better. Checking every project against them is a day nobody has.

One case on our Try page: a geotechnical group's October review, 72 projects. Yesper read it against the ERP and timesheets and sorted the follow-up by project manager. One project reported on track sits at 116% of fee. The amendment behind it was never entered.

You walk in with the follow-up list instead of building it there. The overrun surfaces while the amendment is still billable, not at closeout. Same for every month, and the rest of the Try page: one project's financials before the client meeting, the AP approval queue, a design schedule from the task order.
