provide a brief overview of the project, summary of the project, the time frame covered by the report, and any changes to the scope of the project.
Work Completed: Discuss the work accomplished during the time period covered by the report. Be specific; include dates, refer to hardware/software, discuss sources used, and so on. Use subheads to organize your data by time or task.
Work Remaining: Discuss the work that needs to be completed. State the expected dates of completion. Again, be specific and organize your data with subheads.
Problems: Discuss any major problems that have interfered with the group’s ability to complete the project. Include technical and people problems or any potential obstacles to success. These may include constraints due to money, time, logistics, or other factors.
Conclusion: Evaluate how the project is proceeding. Be realistic.
Annotated Bibliography: Attach an annotated bibliography to your progress report. Be sure to refer to it in the body of your report.
Your progress report is designed to give your manager a clear picture of the project’s positive and negative aspects. Based upon your report, your manager should be well equipped to make any necessary project decisions.
Guidelines for Annotated Bibliography:
An annotated bibliography is more than a reference page. Annotation explains how the source and the information it provides will help your paper.
Provide a bibliographical listing of four to six print and electronic resources to be used in your report.
Include a bibliographical citation for each source in APA style.
Provide a brief description or “annotation” that describes how this particular source will contribute to your report.
