report

A formal document that records and summarizes information in a structured way.

Key Points

  • Provides an official, structured summary of key information for stakeholders.
  • Can be periodic (e.g., weekly status) or event-driven (e.g., phase-end).
  • May include analysis, conclusions, and recommendations, not just raw data.
  • Supports transparency, decision-making, and auditability in the project.

Example

At the end of each sprint, the project manager delivers a sprint status report that summarizes velocity, completed user stories, defects found and fixed, risks, and any impediments requiring stakeholder attention.
