Dear Peter
Golden Rules a Project Manager should be aware of:
1)Project Start Up
2)Communication
3)Information Management
4)Health & Safety Management
5)Quality Management
6)Design Management
7)Procurement
8)Planning & Progress Control
9)Risk Management
10)Value Management/Value Engineering
11)Construction & Site Control
12)Project Close out
Each section is covered by a composition which formulates as a procedures manual.
The Project Manger does not have to memorise each section word for word, however, he needs an appreciation of the importance of each section.
Best Wishes

Develop variance formulaes
ie Schedule variance
Cost variance

... if only it were that simple.
Hey, I sympathise, senior management want a digestable form. You have to give it. The first chapter of the Project Manager’s Portable Handbook (Cleland & Ireland - published by McGraw Hill) gives some bullet points you could use including "Benefits for senior managers".
Good luck
