Progress Reporting

Reporting that shows the true position.

A report that only lists good news is not a report, it is a press release.

Working approach — 406Projects

What a report holds

Three sections, every time.

Done

Completed milestones

What was finished since the last report, with the date it was signed off.

Money

Budget tracking

Spend against the plan, variances explained and any forecast change to the total.

Risk

Open issues

What could move a date or a cost, the owner of each item and the date it is due.

The rhythm

A fixed report keeps everyone aligned.

Reports go out on the rhythm agreed at the start, usually weekly. They are short enough to read in one sitting and specific enough to act on, with owners and dates for every open item.

A running log of all reports travels with the project to handover.

Ask for a sample report.
