You review her status report for mailing activities and determine that Jennifer doesn't have a solid grasp of her status. Ben was unable to provide you with anything more than "Things are moving along just fine." Using earned value measurements along with the other information and metrics available, determine the true status of Jennifer's portion of the project. Prepare an updated status report (one page) for Jennifer and share the measurements and your rationale in your determination of the status for the project. Create a two to three slide presentation explaining the benefits of using EVM. Be sure to document some instructions (one page document) for Jennifer and Ben for determining the project status for their next project update to you.
