FSTPi, UTHM

INTRODUCTION
A progress report is written to inform a supervisor,
associate, or customer about progress you've made on a
project over a certain period of time.
The project can be:
the design, construction, or repair of something,
the study or research of a problem or question, or
the gathering of information on a technical subject.
It is written when it takes well over three or four months to
complete a project.

PROGRESS REPORTS HAVE


SEVERAL IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS:

Reassure recipients that you are making progress, that the


project is going smoothly, and that it will be completed by the
expected date.

Provide recipients with a brief look at some of the findings or


some of the work of the project.

Give recipients a chance to evaluate ones work on the project


and to request changes.

Give you a chance to discuss problems in the project and


thus to forewarn recipients.

Force you to establish a work schedule so that you will


complete the project on time.

WHAT TO EXPLAIN IN THE PROGRESS


REPORT

How much of the work is completed?

What part of the work is currently in progress?

What work remains to be done?

What problems or unexpected things, if any, have


arisen?

How the project is going in general?

CHOOSING BETWEEN TWO REPORT


FORMATS
TIME FORMAT

TASK FORMAT

If you expect to make a


lot of progress on some
tasks and very little on
others during each
report period, then this
format is better

If you have several


tasks, each of which
will show only a little
progress each time,
then a task format is
appropriate
