How to fill in the project status report

  1. Choose the reporting period and apply the team’s agreed definition of green, amber or red status.
  2. Summarize completed work and upcoming milestones with dates instead of repeating the full project plan.
  3. Record each material risk or issue with its impact, owner and the decision or help currently needed.
  4. Finish with dated next actions and circulate the report to the people responsible for them.

Questions

What should the overall status mean?

Define it for your team. A common approach is green for on track, amber for at risk and red for blocked or materially late.
