I have been many reports on the Weekly Report referenced, but this has never really presented in a post. I would like to make up for.
The weekly report is a means of communication to inform the project participants and stakeholders on the status of the project. In my view, have a weekly report to the following topics:
information on the costs:
, the reader will gain an overview of the costs. Ideally, he following information is available:
- What is the total budget?
- What are the costs already incurred?
- What costs have already been charged?
- What is the remaining budget?
information about the dates:
, the reader should be informed of the dates and the rough project plan. It should be clear when and which work packages are completed on the timeline.
information about the performance:
It should be listed, how much of a work package has already been done and how much needs to be done. Also want to specify how large the deviation from the plan data and actual data (costs, deadlines) is. Thus, the reader is already in an early phase of an overview of the work packages tends to be over budget and find out if all air is still.
description of the project status:
The above points were once the formal part. This can very well represent the way in Excel with some nice graphics.
What in my view is just as important, however, is the text part, which is reported in words about the cost, schedule and performance. While there is a risk that then what is shown in the graphs is explained again, but my experience shows that this is most efficient. The text will be made aware of risks and their impact, here is explained if a change request has been commissioned, and therefore the cost ceiling was raised here, decisions are documented and it will be referred to the most important issues (which are at best managed in an issue tracking system).
Formal acceptance of the weekly reports:
is important: the customer is to remove the weekly formal report. There are different ways . Ideally, the project also meets once a week with the customer and discuss the weekly report in person.
Wins With the formal acceptance of the week report more weight and is thus an important means of communication in the project.
