In a status report, you might answer questions like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How are you standing against goals and KPIs?<\/li>\n<li>Will you complete the project on time?<\/li>\n<li>How much money are you spending?<\/li>\n<li>What are the major highlights for this period?<\/li>\n<li>Are there any potential challenges?<\/li>\n<li>What have you learned so far?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<a class=\"twitter-box\" arial-label=\"Tweet\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href,'targetWindow','toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes, width=800,height=450'); return false;\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=\">A good status report offers a 10,000 ft overview of your project\u00a0\u2014\u00a0providing an overview of where everything&#8217;s at and the likelihood of getting where you want to go.<span><\/span><\/a>\n<p>Remember: a status update report is not a <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link \" title=\"project plan\" href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/project-management\/how-to-write-a-killer-project-plan-in-6-simple-steps\/\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">project plan<\/a>, but a concrete, one-page document where you communicate key elements of your project to a specific audience.

You follow the treatment for two weeks straight, but see no improvement. You visit your doctor again and communicate how you\u2019re doing. Based on that information, your doctor makes adjustments to the treatment until it works.<\/p>\n<p>And you repeat this process until you start feeling better, right? Well, project status reporting works similarly.<\/p>\n<p>Your project is like a treatment, and your team, leaders, and any key stakeholders must overview how it&#8217;s doing and make sure you\u2019re on the right track. Otherwise, you may need to make adjustments. Status reports\u00a0offer crucial clues to discover if you\u2019re doing the right things and help you mitigate possible errors before they grow and turn into bigger issues.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h.y5xkek38m4tb\">The different types of status reports<\/h3>\n<p>We can split status reports into different categories based on when they\u2019re produced and who they\u2019re for.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s discuss each of them:<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h.22vfpbbot49l\">By time:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Daily report:<\/strong> a status update you typically send to your direct boss to communicate your daily progress. Sometimes called an EOD report, as it\u2019s sent at the end of the day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Monthly status report:<\/strong> usually this kind of report goes directly to upper execs, so it should offer a high-level overview of your progress at a glance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weekly status report: <\/strong>work similarly to daily reports but summarize the week. You\u2019ll probably have a specific workday to send them (often Monday or Friday).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Quarterly status report:<\/strong> they provide hard data related to what you\u2019ve done so far and what to expect for next quarter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><div id=\"subscribe-cta-banner\">\n    <div class=\"subscribe-cta-banner-wrapper\">\n        <h3>Don\u2019t miss more quality content!<\/h3>\n        <div class=\"form-wrapper\">\n            <div id=\"subscribe-cta-banner-form-2\"><\/div>\n            <!--[if lte IE 8]>\n            <script charset=\"utf-8\" type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/js.hsforms.net\/forms\/v2-legacy.js\"><\/script>\n            <![endif]-->\n            <script charset=\"utf-8\" type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/js.hsforms.net\/forms\/v2.js\"><\/script>\n            <script>\n            hbspt.forms.create({\n                portalId: \"5945317\",\n                css: \"\",\n                formId: \"dbfb5b7f-21a2-4092-a3fb-0b6365ad349c\",\n                target: '#subscribe-cta-banner-form-2',\n                formInstanceId: 'hs-from-instance-2',\n            });\n            <\/script>\n            \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h.rjhozz1e3ru5\">By audience:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Internal status report: <\/strong>to report the current status of your project to coworkers and others inside your company.<\/li>\n<li><strong>External status report:<\/strong>\u00a0to report the current status of your project to your client and other key external stakeholders (such as subcontractors). This will often contain less detail than an internal report.<\/li>\n<li><strong>QA (Quality Assurance) report: <\/strong>to inform leaders in your organization how the project is performing as far as the quality of deliverables. It flags errors, bugs, defects, and other quality issues and trends that can impact decision-making.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whatever the case, you should tailor your reporting to fit the specific needs of your audience. For example, the CEO of your company likely doesn\u2019t want to see the level of detail captured in a typical EOD report. So always keep in mind the person you\u2019ll address.<\/p>\n<p>Now that you understand what a status report is and why they\u2019re important, it\u2019s time to create yours.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h.j2epjh72vtag\">What goes into a status report?<\/h2>\n<p>Let\u2019s break down the most essential elements of a status report.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h.x7v25dz0zq1e\">1. Project details<\/h3>\n<p>First, you should include relevant information like:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Title:<\/strong>\u00a0project name and project code (if any)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Team: <\/strong>explain<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>who created the report and list relevant team members<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date of report and frequency:<\/strong>\u00a0EOD, weekly, quarterly, etc.<\/p>\n<p>These may change depending on your organization politics. So make sure to ask your manager what they are looking for.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h.4x8jql3dl8r4\">2. Executive summary<\/h3>\n<p>This is the first thing most readers will see. Typically, they\u2019ll expect to find the information they need in this first section, so make sure to keep it concise but \u201cmeaty\u201d enough to communicate the high-level overview of your project plan. To be precise, your summary should include a brief summary of what\u2019s happening now and what you think will happen in the next period.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h.bq08hmgpbo3\">3. Milestone status review<\/h3>\n<p>In this section, you should dig a bit deeper into details. You can cover things like key milestones, deadlines, and whether you\u2019re on track or delayed. You can even include some color indicators so that readers get a good understanding of each milestone at a glance.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, this section will help you understand how you\u2019re progressing against your baseline and KPIs and predict possible changes.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h.z55m5eroabh\">4. Project schedule and dependencies<\/h3>\n<p>Here you should include the sequential list of upcoming tasks and a schedule indicating the overall project&#8217;s progress. You could present the schedule <a href=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/project-management\/everything-you-want-to-know-about-gantt-charts\/\">in the form of a Gantt chart<\/a> and showcase completion rates to make it more visually appealing to readers.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-29455 size-full\" title=\"Gantt view of team projects\" src=\"https:\/\/www.monday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2-5.png\" alt=\"Gantt view showing team project\" width=\"1768\" height=\"1105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2-5.png 1768w, https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2-5-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2-5-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2-5-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/monday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2-5-1536x960.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1768px) 100vw, 1768px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You should also include dependencies between tasks and indicate whether you\u2019re waiting for a specific task to be completed before moving forward.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h.d62hvlhnp7aw\">5. Budget<\/h3>\n<p>Next, you should talk about your resources and project budget. You should always let managers know how you\u2019re doing regarding your finances. Are you spending too much or maybe even spending too little?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><div id=\"subscribe-cta-banner\">\n    <div class=\"subscribe-cta-banner-wrapper\">\n        <h3>Don\u2019t miss more quality content!<\/h3>\n        <div class=\"form-wrapper\">\n            <div id=\"subscribe-cta-banner-form-3\"><\/div>\n            <!--[if lte IE 8]>\n            <script charset=\"utf-8\" type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/js.hsforms.net\/forms\/v2-legacy.js\"><\/script>\n            <![endif]-->\n            <script charset=\"utf-8\" type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"\/\/js.hsforms.net\/forms\/v2.js\"><\/script>\n            <script>\n            hbspt.forms.create({\n                portalId: \"5945317\",\n                css: \"\",\n                formId: \"dbfb5b7f-21a2-4092-a3fb-0b6365ad349c\",\n                target: '#subscribe-cta-banner-form-3',\n                formInstanceId: 'hs-from-instance-3',\n            });\n            <\/script>\n            \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h.kabkl8dj8h7d\">6. Issues summary<\/h3>\n<p>Finally, this section should cover the top issues you want to communicate to key stakeholders, potential risks you might face, and change requests for the project.<\/p>\n<p>Hypothetically, you can create a full status report by hand, but as we&#8217;ll soon see, that&#8217;s probably not the best way to go.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h.1q7gylnz1bgq\">Manual reporting is obsolete<\/h2>\n<p>Did you know that <a href=\"https:\/\/wellingtone.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/The-State-of-Project-Management-Report-2020-Wellingtone.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">\u2153<\/a> of teams spend, at least one-day collating status reports?
