 a curve of cumulative project

typically follows the shape of it allows the progress of a

the letter "S" project to be tracked visually
over time
 Analyses of S-curves allow project
managers to quickly identify project
it also forms a record of what growth, slippage, and potential
has happened to date problems that could adversely
impact the project if no remedial
action is taken
