I recently carried out some searches via Google to see if I could find some fit for purpose IT Project Status Report templates. I found to my dismay mostly one-page Word documents with a few headings, poor formats and many essential headings missing. None of these really explained what you needed to write under each heading in terms of content and style.

The attached Project Status Report is in fact a real report issued to a client, which has been changed so that Clarety keeps to its client confidentiality commitments.

However, the reason for leaving all this content in place along with a complete risk /issue log is to give a flavour of what one should write under each of the report headings and see how the risk /issue tracking and its relationship to the overall status report works. This report would have been handed to the client together with a folded A3 copy of the project Gantt chart which has been omitted from this download.

Please note that the Risk & Issue tracking logs are divided up into closed and open items. All risk /issue text coloured red represents open items requiring immediate resolution /mitigation.

I really hope this content rich template helps to make your next Project Board meeting a flying success. If YES, please drop me an email and let me know at

thanks god few and few people use 8/10 pages report like this! A report (especially a weekly one) doesn’t have to contain every single piece of imformation someone could possibly want!

A weekly report is a summary as short as possible with:

- quick recap of what happened last week
- list of new risks and tentative solutions
- the basic metrics/progress indicators

and, if needed a few bits more but that’s it. It’s supposed to give an idea of the project status at a glance and be used as a starting point for conversations (in which you will drill down into as many details as you want/need).

My 2 cents
