If you are a lead and you have 3 subordinates that you give tasks to then those would be your direct reports
The interpretation I’ve seen commonly is direct reports are permanent/fixed. If you manage someone on a project those are indirect reports in my eyes.
A couple of them. Not relevant though. That’s the standard definition of a direct report, that you report to them through the HR hierarchy. Otherwise, what’s the count? However many you’re managing at this current project? Total across all projects? An average? Here’s what ChatGPT had to say, as a different data point.
I thought indirect were the reports of your reports.
