·       Compare project baseline schedule (from Project plan) to final project schedule and point out any variations from that original plan.  Provide reasons for variations, actions taken along the way to address/mitigate variations and whether or not those actions were effective.  Discuss variances in relation to project priorities.

3.  Provide reasons for variations, actions taken along the way to address/mitigate variations and whether or not those actions were effective.  Discuss variances in relation to project priorities.
