who know how to write a formal progress report

I have a formal progress report I have already did the outline you just have to make it a report I have the examples from my book as well as my outline heres the example

Following is an overview of what you will include in an effective progress report.

• 1. Introduction (overview, background)

  • Objectives. These can include the following:

    • • Why are you working on this project (what’s the rationale)?

    • • What problems motivated the project?

    • • What do you hope to achieve?

    • • Who initiated the activity?

  • Personnel. With whom are you working on this project (i.e., work team, liaison, contacts)?

  • Previous activity. If this is the second, third, or fourth report in a series, remind your readers what work has already been accomplished. Bring them up-to-date with background data or a reference to previous reports.

• 2. Discussion (findings, body, agenda)

  • Work accomplished. Using subheadings, itemize your work accomplished either through a chronological list or a discussion organized by importance.

  • Problems encountered. Inform your reader(s) of any difficulties encountered (late shipments, delays, poor weather, labor shortages) not only to justify your possibly being behind schedule but also to show the readers where you’ll need help to complete the project.

  • Work remaining. Tell your reader what work you plan to accomplish next. List these activities, if possible, for easy access. A visual aid, such as a Gantt chart or a pie chart, fits well after these two sections. The chart will graphically depict both work accomplished and work remaining.

• 3. Conclusion/Recommendations

  • Conclusion. Sum up what you’ve achieved during this reporting period and provide your target completion date.

  • Recommendations. If problems were presented in the discussion, you can recommend changes in scheduling, personnel, budget, or materials that will help you meet your deadlines.

    Figure 17.5 presents an example of a progress report.

    Feasibility/Recommendation Reports

    Purpose and Examples

    A feasibility/recommendation report accomplishes two goals. First, it studies the practicality of a proposed plan. Then, it recommends action. Occasionally, your company plans a project but is uncertain whether the project is feasible. Will the plan work, does the company have the correct technology, will the idea solve the problem, or is there enough money? One way a company determines the viability of a project is to perform a feasibility study, to document the findings, and then to recommend the next course of action.
