Tracking: Every month on the 17th we track all projects by checking:

• How many hours each account spent on project tasks (up to the total amount of hours they charged in the previous month)
• Their progress on said task (in % complete) and inputting that into the correct row of the budget sheet
• Then you compare that the WBS actuals and figure why there are differences (assuming there are any)
  • How to get Actuals Information from Peoplesoft
• If the costs are not in any of the rows then add a row under 'unplanned activities' for the program manager to address
• in the tracking file of the project we copy paste the current row onto the correct month
