Cost Overview Project

Description: This project gives an Executive/PMO insights on how the organization is tracking its budgeted cost and where most of the cost/work is going to happen. This helps them focus on the key portfolios and gather how they are performing to cost. In case there are outliers, the users can take preemptive corrective actions.
