FAQPage Schema

How do I generate a plan-vs-actual report for project closure?▼

To generate a plan-vs-actual report, provide your project-plan.md alongside actual performance data in chat. The skill compares timelines, budget, and scope across milestones, then outputs a consolidated Markdown document named plan-fact-report.md for handover.

What is variance analysis in project management and how does it work?▼

Variance analysis in project management compares planned project baselines against actual performance data to reveal deviations. This skill automates evaluating timeline, budget, and scope variances across all milestones during closure or interim reviews.

Do I need a specific file format to compare project plan versus actual data?▼

You need a Markdown file named project-plan.md containing your planned baseline data. Actual data can be provided directly in chat; the tool then processes both inputs to produce the final Markdown report.

Can I use this for milestone tracking during interim reviews instead of project closure?▼

Yes, you can use this for interim status reviews as well as project closure. It evaluates timeline, budget, and scope deviations across all milestones whenever you need to assess current performance against the plan.

What happens if actual data is missing for certain milestones?▼

The tool handles missing data gracefully by prompting you for updates and clarifying gaps. It ensures the variance analysis remains accurate by requesting the necessary actuals before finalizing the report.

Does the plan-fact report support languages other than English?▼

Yes, the plan-fact report supports English and Russian outputs. It uses language-aware templates to generate the Markdown closure document based on your preferred language.
