Work Performance Reports

A tangible or digital summary of work performance information compiled from project documents, created to inform decisions, trigger actions, or raise stakeholder awareness.

Key Points

  • Consolidates analyzed performance information into consumable outputs like dashboards, packets, or formal status reports.
  • Draws from project documents but is tailored to stakeholder needs per the communications plan.
  • Primary purpose is decision support: to prompt actions, approvals, escalations, or provide awareness.
  • Should be timely, accurate, and clear; often includes KPIs, variances, forecasts, milestones, risks, and issues.

Example

The project manager issues a weekly status report (PDF and dashboard) showing CPI/SPI, milestone slippage, top risks with owners, and an updated completion forecast so the sponsor can decide whether to authorize overtime.
