Ganesh, while I have always preferred other tools outside of Excel for tracking, I believe you should track CPI and SPI on your Excel.

You can put a visual presentation for a combine CPI SPI in Excel having one on the X value the other on Y showing a few month will give a view on trend.

And remember: you have to ask your stakeholders what they need as project information. That is the only thing that matters.
Well, I would think you need to report on the 3 or 4 things in the Waterfall Iron Triangle: Budget, Schedule, Scope, Quality. From an Agile Triangle perspective (and this is not as strong as the waterfall triangle): Value, Quality and Constraints. Agile would also report on the Backlog. So, if you want to be hybrid (and I always like hybrid better, just with a lean one way or the other depending on the project), use the 4 from Waterfall and consider Constraints (assumptions, issues, and risks which you have noted), and Value. What is Value? It is requirements that have been met. Most of the time, Value in a waterfall is all at the end, but if there is a phased delivery, then some value could be obtained earlier. And you could also use Earned Value. So there you go, best of both techniques. I'm so hybrid that I don't even think of the two as separate any more. :-) Saving Changes...
