2 How to Use
The Status Report communicates key performance indicators (KPIs), key project dates, and key
risks/issues related to the project in order to keep all project players equally informed.
3 Best Practice
Status Reports should be brief, regular, clear, and should demonstrate overall project health;
reporting key performance indicators (KPI's), such as % Complete, Red, Yellow, Green and
Schedule Variance. Project status should be communicated weekly or bi-monthly to keep
members informed.
4 Phase Location
The PM Lite 2.0 Project Status Report is used throughout the Monitor & Control Phase. The
Monitoring & Controlling Phase of the project is an overarching phase that commences in the
Initiation Phase and extends through Project Closure. Templates included in the Monitoring &
Controlling phase include reporting, tracking, and communication tools to ensure successful
project delivery.
Note: The PM Lite 2.0 Project Status Report Template is customizable as you see fit, on a per project
basis, meeting specific needs of the project and/or your organization’s policies. The below sections
are suggestions but can be tailored as applicable.
