Abstract
Existing literature provides limited insights on how project monitoring support agile product development. This article introduces the Increment Drift Analysis, a method that transforms the Milestone Trend Analysis to enhance project monitoring. The method mitigates the risk of interpretational gaps in reporting by aligning objective achievement forecasts with actual status conditions. Implementing a traffic light logic enables specific interventions by management levels when necessary. The generalized method was developed by solving real industrial problems from customer projects.
