If your forcing users to enter updates via timesheets, then you can use the
timesheet audit report which ships with the report pack.

If you want a data analysis view [Assignment Timephased DB], then you
produce a report which compares actual work vs planned work using assignment
owner, task lists and time as dimensions. You can filter the time dimension
to narrow the scope of the report. IMO DA views can become difficult to read
as dimensions consume more of the reporting space. This also requires the
cube to be processed in order for the report to be accurate.

A better approach would be to create a SRS report using the reporting db as
a datasource. These reports are a lot cleaner and what's even better is that
PM's can configure a subscription so they get a copy of the report at
scheduled intervals.

Sorry I don't know of such a resource, but that's not to say that one doesn't
exist.

Maybe you can reverse engineer the reports in the reporting pack as a
starting point.
