Thoughts on how important it is to be able to convey project performance and health? Some of my favs that I use combined are: RAG, Percent complete, percent complete’s better cousin Estimated vs. Actuals (EvA).

To me the RAG tells the micro or day-to-day performance and health. While EvA (which I also prefer) is macro and allows a story to be told along side it. Neither is wrong and both serves a purpose depending on the audience.
