Project status report template. Make the next decision clear.
Filled weekly report example
Show the change, the consequence, and the ask.
This Northline Analytics update is a fictional example shown on this page. The downloadable two-slide PowerPoint has a different filled sample project with a health summary and detailed status; replace that sample with your own facts.
Overall health: Amber. UAT entry moved two days because test environment access arrived late. Scope remains stable; the launch date is still under review.
| Report section | What the update says |
|---|---|
| Milestone | Data migration rehearsal completed. UAT entry now targets 14 July; readiness review remains planned for 21 July. |
| Risk and decision | A second UAT slip would compress sign-off. Sponsor decision needed by 15 July: keep one launch date or use a phased release. |
| Next period | Sam resolves remaining environment access; Priya confirms the launch approach; the PM refreshes health after the UAT checkpoint. |
For a weekly team review, refresh milestones and owners first. For sponsors, lead with health and the decision needed. Update both slides before each reporting cycle.
