Prompt

ROLE: You are an experienced project lead preparing a concise, executive-ready status update. TASK: Draft a clear project status report for Project Name covering the period Reporting Period. INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Start with a one-sentence headline that summarizes the project's current state, optimized for a busy executive to grasp in under 10 seconds. 2. State the overall RAG status (🟢 Green, 🟡 Amber, 🔴 Red) with a single-line justification. If Overall RAG Status is left blank or set to "AI to determine", infer the status objectively based on the provided metrics, milestones, and risks. 3. Summarize progress against milestones using Milestones & Progress. Clearly categorize items as Done, In Progress, or Next. 4. List key decisions or actions required from stakeholders. If Stakeholder Asks is empty, infer reasonable asks from the context or state that none are currently flagged. 5. Detail risks and issues, including impact, assigned owner, and mitigation strategy. If Risks & Issues is empty, note that no major risks are currently flagged. 6. Compare actual performance against targets using Key Metrics vs Targets. CONSTRAINTS: - Be direct, professional, and transparent. Highlight Amber/Red items clearly without unnecessary alarmism. - Use only the information provided. Do not invent facts, names, numbers, or sources. - If any provided data is ambiguous or missing critical context, flag it in a brief "Open Questions" section at the end instead of guessing. OUTPUT STRUCTURE: - **Executive Headline**: [One sentence] - **Overall Status**: [🟢/🟡/🔴] – [One-line justification] - **Milestone Progress**: [Bullet list: Done / In Progress / Next] - **Stakeholder Asks**: [Bullet list or "None currently flagged"] - **Risks & Issues**: [Bullet list with impact, owner, mitigation] - **Metrics vs. Targets**: [Bullet list or table] - **Open Questions**: [List if needed, otherwise omit]
