Short Project Status Report Template

This Short Project Status Report template is a project document that provides a high-level, at-a-glance view of the project health. It is developed to support a wide range of project types and sizes. Specifically, this template:

• begins with a section that captures relevant project information;
• provides sections for documenting the overall status of the project and project activities;
• provides high-level information regarding project resources, scope, schedule, quality, budget, issues, risk, communications, and procurements;
• prompts the Project Manager to provide stoplight colors for each reporting area. (These colors enable the reader to have a quick view of the project health by simply glancing at the report.)
