What it does
Status reports fail when they bury the point. This prompt puts the call first, as one word and one reason. Then it lists results, owners, risks and the decisions you need, each with a date and your recommendation. It stays under 250 words and uses only the numbers you give it. Leaders can read it in a minute and know where they are needed.
You give it
- The period and project
- Your updates
- Who reads it (optional)
You get
- An overall status with a reason
- Done, in progress, risks and decisions needed
