PROJECT STATUS REPORT

Project Status Report in Microsoft Word format.

1. Your "Project Status Report" should contain the following elements:
   • A title referring to the project.
   • A date and identification of the person preparing the report.
   • A list of accomplishments since the last report.
   • A list of pending items yet to be resolved.
   • A list of any concerns and recommended actions to resolve them.
   • Any other remarks that might be made to inform, reward, or motivate team members.

2. Prepare a Project Status Report at regular intervals, usually once a week.

3. Keep copies of the Project Status Reports in the project notebook or diary. (It is sometimes a good idea to provide the client with copies as well. In other cases, it may be better to keep these reports internal to the project team)

Date: June 17, 1994

From: Judy Uptodate

Accomplishments: (Since June 10th report.)

• Began the analysis, which included meeting with technical SMEs and interviewing trainees
• Arranged for renting an XYZ Model 17 for the development team for authoring purposes
• Decided to use the 5/28 version of the software; later versions are too unstable

Pending Items:

• Complete task analysis and revision of preliminary objectives
• Brainstorm with designers re: creative design strategies
• Start writing Design Plans

Concerns and Recommended Actions:

• Bud Delay doesn't like his proposed role as reviewer. Recommend using Martha Smart instead.
• Engineering still won't discuss the new attachment for the XYZ. We must get a demo and documentation by 6/23 or that segment will have to be dropped from the course.

Remarks:

• Many thanks to Oscar Ontheball for locating the missing XYZ marketing plans.
