Project Status & RAID Reporting Guide
Give the next project meeting something to decide.
A useful report explains what changed.
A status color is a starting point. Leaders also need to know which dates are affected, who owns the next action and which decision cannot wait.
This guide shows how to bring those details into a status report and a RAID log: risks, assumptions, issues and dependencies.
- What to include in a weekly status summary.
- How to separate a future risk from an issue that is happening now.
- How to record owners, dates and decisions without losing the detail.
- A worked example using fictional project data.
