Week analysis
A weekly status update is a summary of what your company is working on, and a summary of what work has been completed. It's important for leaders to have weekly status reports because they allow management to stay informed, especially if multiple projects are involved.
This may seem like something that's done "automatically", since most projects have a project manager, however, it's still important to keep weekly status reports up to date. This helps keep projects on track, and it allows your project manager or team leaders to see how each project is progressing — whether it's meeting deadlines, or falling behind.
Weekly analysis reports are also useful for employees. They allow them to see what projects they're closing on, and to assess their progress by the end of the week. They can use this information to set goals and plan upcoming tasks.
In summary, weekly status reports have a number of purposes.
- They allow management to keep up to date on what projects have been started and completed.
- They allow for the tracking of progress, and have valuable metrics that can be tracked over time, which can help management make decisions about resource allocation.
- Weekly status updates give employees the opportunity to set new goals and plan upcoming weeks.
- They allow employees to see where they fit in the organization, and to consider what projects they may want to work on in the future.
