Weekly Project Status Report
A skimmable weekly status update with an honest RAG rating, wins, risks and next steps.
Prompt preview
Write this week's status report for Customer portal relaunch, covering Reporting week. Overall status: AMBER. We're at risk but recoverable. State the single biggest reason in the first sentence, what we're doing about it, and the date by which we'll know if it's back to green. Done this week: - Finished user testing with 8 customers - Signed off the new login flow design Planned for next week: - Start build of account settings - Security review kickoff Risks and blockers: Payments API from the vendor is two weeks late; it blocks checkout testing. Format it with headings: Status, Done, Next, Risks. Keep it under 250 words. I'm a project manager. Use these placeholders where needed: [Project name], [Team], [Sponsor], [My name]. My readers are busy stakeholders who skim. Lead with the status or the decision needed, then the detail. Flag risks and slips plainly, with an owner and a date, and never soften bad news into vague language. Use short sentences and bullet points, no corporate filler like 'synergy' or 'circle back', and never invent numbers, dates or names I didn't give you.
