Part A
When it comes to evaluation of any project it requires effective communication
whereby information has to be conveyed to project participants. In regard to the setup of
project management reporting, communication is channelled in the form of reports. As a
result, in the perspective of project management reporting, there are different reports which
are carefully organised and then conveyed to the relevant people or groups such as project
teams, sponsors, and stakeholders. This reports communicate the proceedings of the project
in an effective, clear and price manner. Therefore, in respect to this sense, status report plays
a key role among project managers to inform project teams, steering committee and sponsors
concerning the project progress (Kerzner, 2019). The status report comprises various aspects
such as risks associated with the project, essential business efforts, timeframe as well as
resources required to develop the project. When the status report is complete it ensure
accountability and ownership of the project. Therefore, status reports are used for several
purposes in a project such as mitigating risks, tracking progress of project activities, and
identifying issues that are likely to impact the project success (Harrison, & Lock, 2017). In
light of this statement, this article will discuss different report status utilised by project
managers in a project and the pitfalls and challenges related to every status report.
Furthermore, it also discuss various dissimilarities amongst each status report given to
steering committee, sponsors and project teams.
