Fremdriftsrapportering

Fremdriftsrapportering refers to the systematic reporting of a project's progress to stakeholders. It documents how planned work compares with actual execution, highlights early signs of risk, and provides a basis for decisions about scope, resources, and schedules.

Its purpose is transparency, steering, and alignment; it is used across industries like construction, IT, and the public sector. It typically covers schedule, budget, scope, quality and risk indicators.

Content commonly includes the status of milestones, percent complete, critical-path items, changes in scope, budget burn, risk and issue logs, dependencies, resource usage, and near-term milestones. It may also show earned value where relevant and highlight corrective actions.

Methods and tools used for fremdriftsrapportering include written reports, dashboards, Gantt charts, and burn-down graphs. Frequency is usually weekly, biweekly, or monthly, depending on project cadence. Data sources come from project management software, time-tracking systems, and financial systems, often integrated to provide a coherent view of progress.

Roles and responsibilities typically involve the project manager or coordinator collecting data, with the project team providing updates. Recipients usually include the sponsor, steering committee, and client. The process is often integrated with governance reviews and change-management procedures.

Challenges can include data accuracy, timeliness, and inconsistent metrics. Best practices emphasize standardized metrics, clear definitions for statuses (completed, in progress, not started), data quality, automation where possible, and timely follow-up with action on review outcomes.

Regulatory or contractual aspects: fremdriftsrapportering is often mandated by contracts or governance frameworks to ensure accountability and traceability of decisions, with defined escalation paths for critical issues.
