Project Management Status Report Project Status Report Template	10 Minute Tour Screen 10 of 23
To generate a project status report for the project, the Project Manager need only add a few comments to the project status report template screen and the project management statusreport 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 project weekly report can be e-mailed directly to a set distribution list (using Microsoft Outlook). The period can be set by the project manager. If you don't want a project weekly report, set the status to whatever period suits. The value is not so much in the project status 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.


Benefits Easy to see information because it is in a single consistent format Project staff are forced to review progress on a period basis Little work involved to generate a report Periods can be set to match company requirements
