Client Delivery
Project reporting and delivery metrics
Build project reports that distinguish accepted deliverables, later outcomes, baseline dates, forecasts and blockers.

Client Delivery
Recording assumptions before a milestone review
Identify the unconfirmed conditions behind a milestone decision, assign checks and show reviewers the effect of uncertainty.
Client Delivery
Reporting completed outcomes rather than task activity

Decide when a task board is enough and when your team needs dependencies, resource views or project-level planning.
