Daily , weekly and monthly status report – try to manage them through real-time reporting tool

• Daily project status report:

Lots of projects include intensive flow of work, so daily controlling of tasks is necessary. Daily project status report represents current state of progress through showing main daily indicators. For example daily project status report demonstrates if tasks which have current day as their target date – are really complete, and what daily outputs are obtained, so they can be compared against planned indicators. To get a good picture of what was done during the day – project managers should design a template which is used for data collecting and systematizing.

As far as this status report is required to indicate what was done on a project and how – it should reflect all specificity and operate with terms clear for project managers as well as for performers. It is advisable to use special software for real-time team collaboration, such as CentriQS that allows making daily report as a small part of its capabilities. With its help you can control work not only through daily project status reports, but even through minutely reports as this software works in real time and allows you to create project template that fully meets all needs of your project.

• Weekly project status report

Weekly project status report is a higher level of reporting because it should give a clear picture of goals that were attained during the week. It is used in projects where week is a controllable time unit, so all work performance is planned and measured through terms of weekly periods. It can be build according to results of daily reports. The template shows indicators that characterize goals achieved and outputs produced during a week, so progress can be accurately evaluated and (if required) some corrections can be made in project plan.

• Monthly project status report

Monthly project status report is normally used in long-term projects and business plans. Monthly project status report is extremely important when it comes to serious tasks with monthly goals and outputs, because monthly periods reflect business attainments and project progress much more significantly. It should be described in specific and appropriate terms.

Monthly project status report can be build according to materials obtained during regular processing of weekly reports, but of course it is necessary to check and approve all results several times before to input them into a kind of report as far as it includes quite long-term and important indicators, so every mistake may appear critical. CentriQS is a tool which allows you to create monthly project template – proper layout of attributes and tasks that characterize and identify evolution made during monthly periods. This dynamic template can be shared among multiple users, printed out or exported into Excel.
