How to use this worksheet
- Add each project with an owner and a due date.
- Update status and progress once a week. Use "At risk" early: it is a flag to get help, not an admission of failure.
- Read the overview: overdue and at-risk projects are listed first.
- Print or share the page for your weekly review.
Projects
One row per project.
Prompts
Ask yourself
- Which project would you stop if you had to?
- What does the owner of the at-risk project need from you?
Overview
Before you finish
- Every project has one owner and a due date.
- Status was updated this week.
- At-risk projects have a next step for getting help.
About this overview
This is a deliberately light status page for small teams. For detailed task management use a tracker or a Kanban board; for risks and dependencies use your project plan.
The most valuable habit is the weekly update. A status page that is two weeks old is worse than none.
