Why is project reporting important in enterprise transformations?

[#1]

To answer simply, project reporting is important for enterprise transformation because these reports shows what happened in the last days: Which projects and tasks are at risk, and how's the team progress going.

What do we mean about "enterprise transformation"? These are the processes that every company faces at the doors of change of markets, products, services, branding, technologies, organization, and more. Coordinating efforts that goes across strategy, goals, methods, workflows, organizational structure, tooling, and any other need the company needs to adapt to have a better shape.

These transformational processes usually are triggered by actions looking for better financial performance, higher productivity, operational efficiency, delivering better customer value, and getting rid of expensive and risky setups, and of course, why not, Jira migrations also qualify as such.

Why still creating report for projects on these complex enterprise transformation processes?

This question my seem to be obvious to answer, but not exactly given it depends on each case. There are companies that doesn't see the value on this. But, as any other transformation project, establishing a reporting baseline allows teams running these changes to compare the Before -> During -> After, allowing a clearer and controlled path.
