How to create project management reports

Project reporting is a tried-and-tested technique that assists teams by speaking the universal language of numbers, graphics, and charts, communicating vital information, and catching stakeholders up to speed. Here is how you can create compelling project management reports.

1. Get the purpose straight

Define the purpose of creating this project report. Who is it meant for? Teams? Stakeholders? Management? What is it going to communicate? For eg. A project status report gives you an overview of where your project stands and where it could be potentially headed. A variance report outlines a comparison of the planned and actual by consider. Setting the objectives and building a structure ensures that your report has a strong foundation and does not dissuade from its purpose.

2. Gather relevant information

Next, start compiling data relevant to the report. The data that you gather should be relevant, credible, and up to the minute. Make sure the narrative is well-structured, logical, and sequential so you can bring coherence to your project report.

3. Create an outline

Provide the compiled data with a solid outline. Lay them out in order so teams can navigate the report and can keep up with the progressive information. Ensure that the formatting is consistent — headers, sub-headers, and bullet points maintain conciseness and keep the content crisp. Proof-read the content for better accuracy and revise it for reliability. Here are some of the standard sections that you can incorporate into your report:

  • Title: Project name, start and end date, author, organization
  • Project participants: Names and clearly-defined roles and responsibilities
  • Executive summary: Reports a summary of the key points
  • Introduction: States the purpose of the report
  • Project scope: How has the project scope changed since its inception
  • Customer name and information: Makes project reporting easier
  • Methodology: Lists the tools and processes implemented
  • Results: Showcases findings and issues if any

4. Write the report

You can now start writing your report. Avoid unnecessary use of jargon or sentence structures that leave members confounded. The success of a good report lies in its ability to communicate effectively — so make proper use of infographics, charts, and tables to assimilate hard-to-understand data into simple information. Review and revise wherever appropriate.

FAQ

  • What are project reports?

    Project reports are comprehensive documents or dashboards that give information about the different aspects of a project from the beginning to the very end. These reports are extremely crucial and serve multiple purposes. For instance, they provide updates to all the involved stakeholders, guide project teams as they make decisions, and more importantly, document the progress for future reference.

    Most project management software comes with detailed report modules, as analytics is vital to the whole project management process. For instance, in Zoho Projects, you get multiple types of reports, including planned vs. actual reports, workload reports, and those that visualize what happens on a project at the milestone and task levels.

  • What is the importance of project reporting software?

    One primary advantage of project reporting software is the automation of data collection and consolidation, which drastically reduces time spent on manual data entry. This automation ensures that project reports are consistently based on the most accurate and current data, giving very little room for errors and inconsistencies. Apart from this, standardized templates and reporting tools within the software make it even easier to create professional, consistent reports across different projects.

    Another significant advantage is the collaborative capabilities on offer. Team members—even those across the globe working on different timelines—have a centralized platform to look at all the reports in real time, which enhances their teamwork and communication. As an added benefit, an organization can even enforce role-based viewing and editing capabilities for an additional layer of security.

    Decision-making becomes a lot easier at the managerial level, as you can visualize relevant and pertinent data through the use of data visualization tools. These tools give you a clear idea of how an organization is performing on various projects in their portfolio.

    There are a lot of other benefits as well, like the flexibility to scale the number of projects that an organization can complete, the ability to analyze historical trends, and the means to simplify compliance and accountability.
