What is the purpose or value?

This will give you a centralised report by getting all the important milestones and data in one place. Don't wait until the end of the month to receive milestone updates; the program will be transparent and visible at all times. Gain insight into the activities and milestones of the previous month, as well as what is planned for the upcoming months or quarter. This will help you effectively prepare and identify opportunities to contribute value to the program.
