Project Reporting – information management
Deciding which information to keep, how to record and file it, and to whom it should be accessible are important parts of setting up an information management system to support project reporting. A management information system (MIS) is an organized system to provide managers with the information they need when they need it, in a form that is useful, and should promote understanding and action. A good MIS has the following features:

Supplies complete, accurate, and timely information Presents information in a uniform manner Identifies and structures significant past relationships and foresees future ones Provides to each user only that information and level of detail that the user needs Presents information in a form which is easily understood and minimizes the need for analysis and interpretation Is flexible and adaptable to change.
