The document outlines the structure and components that should be included in a project status update presentation, such as the project status and deliverables, achievements and issues, costs, resources, and goals for the next update.
A project status update should cover whether the project is on track, delivery dates and cost estimates, achievements and progress made, attention areas like delays and problems, the project schedule, deliveries, outstanding technical issues, resources allocated, and goals for the next review.
Issues that could cause delays or problems in a project include delays in deliverables from outside services, technical problems that have not been resolved, lack of adequate resources, and cost overruns from unanticipated expenses.
