Status Reports

Glen Alleman of Herding Cats, Status Reports:

“Status reports should report progress to plan. Tasks and the execution of tasks are not measures of progress. The production of deliverables are the measure of progress. [...] This is a common mistake of confusing effort with results. ‘We’re completing all these tasks, so we must be making progress.’ It’s results that measure progress, not the effort.“
