“Progress Report”

Introduction to Report:-
A report is written for a clear purpose and to a particular
audience.

Introduction to Progress Report:-

Progress reporting is an essential activity of project management.


The project manager issues regular reports on progress against
budget, schedule and scope. Include these people on your
circulation list: Project Sponsor. (Budget Holder)

In a progress report, you explain any of the


following:
The amount of work complete?
What part of the work is currently in progress?
The problems or unexpected things that have occurred?
What work is pending?
How the project is going in general?
Why are Progress Reports Important?

No project manager wakes up thinking “I wish I could make reports for


my supervisor and team all day”! We get it. Writing progress reports
are not very fun.

However, you know that writing progress reports are part of the


deal. Progressive reporting demands talking with your team or client to
understand the goals and showcase the information that closely relates to
the said goals.

Whether the report is about updating the investors, marketing


performance, or resource management. These reports let everyone see
what’s going well and what isn’t. It also assists managers to see the
overall success or failure of projects. Furthermore, progress reports help
to:

1. Make Information Transparent

The glue that holds together any relationship is visibility and


transparency. A well-defined progress report directly presents how
your work affects the project’s bottom line and showcases the rights and
wrongs! By adding transparency to your project plan, you can build an
unmatched level of credibility and trust with your team and clients.

 
2. Encourage Constant
Interaction

Creating and discussing


progress reports results in
constant communication
and keeps everyone in the
loop. Being in constant
contact with others on a
weekly or monthly basis
ensures a clear
understanding of roles and
responsibilities.

3. Improve Project Evaluation and Review

Previous progress reports will help you in clarifying loopholes, systemic


issues; examine documents to find out what went wrong, what can be
done right, and which area needs improvement.

4. Provides Insight for Future Planning

When a progress report shows all the delays that have occurred, the
supervisor or a project manager can monitor and investigate the issue
that hindered progress and take an additional step to prevent them from
happening in the future.
Example
Content of Progress Report:-
Introduction:- Including What, Why, Background, Scope
and Preview.

confronted and how resolve. Problems encounter may be a
separate section.

Work Scheduled (heading):- What remains to be done,


deadlines for completion (possible includes a schedule with
specific dates).

Closing (no heading):- Encourages feedback, goodwill and


contact information
