Status Report Sheet

A free printable status report — what completed, what did not and why, what is at risk, and what is needed from whom by when.

First page of the Status Report Sheet — Report a period honestly on one page, with real space for the two sections people skip: what slipped, and what you need from somebody else.

What this sheet is for

Report a period honestly on one page, with real space for the two sections people skip: what slipped, and what you need from somebody else.

Who it is for

Project leads, contractors reporting to clients, committee officers reporting to a board, and anyone who owes somebody a regular update.

How to use it

  1. Fill in the 'not completed, and why' section first. It is the useful one.
  2. Name the person you need something from, and the date you need it by.
  3. Keep it to the page. A status report nobody finishes reading is not a report.
  4. File the previous one with it — the pair together shows the trend.

What is on the sheet

2 pages, in this order:

Page 1

Printed under the title: A one-page report for a period: what moved, what did not, what is at risk and what is needed next.

Write the awkward sections. The useful sections of a status report are the two people skip — what slipped, and what you need from somebody else. They are given real space here.

Action Log

Keep every agreed action in one place with a name and a date against it, so the next meeting starts from what happened rather than from memory.

Issue Log

Track the things that have already happened separately from the things that might, so today's problems do not crowd out next month's risks.
