Frequently Asked Questions

How often should project status reports be created?

Weekly status reports work well for active projects. For longer-term or lower-priority projects, bi-weekly or monthly reports may be sufficient.

What does RAG status mean?

Red-Amber-Green: Green means on track, Amber means at risk or needs attention, Red means off track or blocked. Use it for an at-a-glance project health check.

Who should receive the project status report?

Share with project sponsors, key stakeholders, team members, and anyone whose work depends on the project's outcomes.
