Project Management reporting

Hi,

I am a project manager who uses org-mode for managing multiple IT projects.
Unfortunately, getting project reports out of the system in a format
suitable for business customers has been a challenge. I've looked around
for a better way but haven't found much. Am I missing anything? If not
would anyone else be interested in this functionality?

Thanks,
J.

Hi John,

What have you tried in org mode and what does not work? Have you tried the
org>latex>pdf exporter?

What is project management reporting? Having an example template of plain
text data you need to enter for that report and an example document of what
the final report should look like will be needed before a solution can be
proposed.

​Exporting is working as expected. What I'm looking for is a way to
programmatically collect & format tagged content from an org-mode file
which can then be exported.​

​Here's a decent overview of basic PM reporting requirements (in particular
check out Key Data):

Also attached is a sample report template to give you an idea of what an
exported report would ideally look like.

Thanks for your help!
