A weekly or monthly report: progress, what is at risk, decisions needed.
Free, and not counted as a creation. You get your own copy to edit, in any theme.
When to use it
Use it every week or month during a project, to report progress, flag risks early and ask for decisions.
How to use it
- Make your own copy. It opens in the editor, where you can change the theme and edit anything.
- Fill in the fields below, and answer the question each section asks with your own content and numbers.
- Download it as an editable Word file, or as a PDF. The file is reopened and checked before it is offered.
Section by section
- [project] status report [period] · prepared by [lead name]
- Summary Overall status: [status]. What happened this period, in two sentences?
- Progress against plan A table: Workstream, Planned, Done, Status
- Risks and issues What could stop the plan, and what is being done about it? Who owns each risk?
- Next period What will be done before the next report on [next date]?
- Decisions needed What must be decided, by whom, and by when?
Fields to fill
Fill them once in the editor, or from a spreadsheet to make one copy per client. Where a slide needs content, it asks the question it must answer instead of showing a made-up answer.
