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:
- 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.
