Project Management Progress Report

 

To generate a project status report for the project, the Project Manager need only add a few comments and the project management report will be produced automatically showing:

Project Management Templates, Documents, Forms and Processes.
  •  Milestones in the last period, and if they are completed
  •  Milestones due next period
  •  Action items not completed by their due date
  •  Action items due to be completed in the next period
  •  The commentary prepared by the Project Manager.

The report can be e-mailed directly to a set distribution list (using Microsoft Outlook). The period can be set by the project manager.

The value is not so much in the report. The value comes from ensuring that at least once a reporting period, the team is forced to review due and outstanding items. Usually this will force them to focus on completing actions and milestones so they do not appear in the report. This function acts as a project status report template or a piece of period status reporting software.
