Project Status Reporting Process & Template

This is a Project Status Reporting Guide for IT-Enabled Business Transformation Programmes — a practical reference covering the core principles of good status reporting (facts over intentions, no surprises, escalating deliberately), the right reporting cadence and format for each audience tier (delivery team through to board), clear RAG (Red/Amber/Green) status definitions, and considerations specific to transformation work such as benefits realisation, data migration risk, and organisational readiness. It closes with a ready-to-use status reporting template covering the report header, RAG status by dimension, executive summary, key milestones, top risks/issues, and budget summary — designed to be completed in 30–45 minutes each reporting period.
