Answering Key Business Questions using Reporting

Understanding what outcomes you are looking to achieve and asking the right business questions to support those outcomes are at the foundation of success. At Lytho, we like to say, “what’s measured is managed.” To support you, we've created a cheat sheet pairing common business questions and the appropriate report to provide you with the data you need. For example, questions related to resource management might involve asking, "Are the team members I need available to do the work?" and "Are we estimating the correct amount of time for work?" Dig into the cheat sheet to find guidance on generating reports that address these questions.
