In this module, you will learn how to customize a sample
report so that it depicts consolidated information across multiple
projects. Such consolidation helps senior managers get an overview
of the health of their projects.
The consolidation helps them identify areas that demand
special attention, and thereby direct management bandwidth towards
priority issues. The ‘Defect status and distribution' report
helps track defects by state, severity, and priority. It can be used
to take corrective action for reducing both defect resolution time
and the number of defects. When consolidated across projects, the
report is a powerful tool for group managers to analyze the overall
health of their groups.
