WPR

WPR (Weekly Progress Report)

A weekly progress report helps managers to track their employees' performance and progress at all levels. Normally managers do not have the time to talk to every employee about each weekly task in detail due to time shortage. Thus, written weekly reports are an efficient way to communicate all projects, tasks, and progresses during a week. 

WPR contains:

1. Progress: A few headlines about what the team accomplished the previous week (Monday to Friday)
2. Problems/Resolutions: What unforeseen problems occurred and how they were/are being resolved.
3. Deliverables status: What, if any, deliverables were due during the week, who owns them, and what is their status (Complete, Will Complete, etc)
4. Risk Status: What are the current top three risks, and what mitigation is in place.
5. Financial Summary: By name, the number of labor hours used by each team member, including class hours, attended individual work, teamwork and team meetings attended by the member.  Also, include any team expenses.
6. Plans: A few headlines about what the team plans to accomplish in the upcoming week.

• Pictures should be added when necessary to explain something in detail.

• Keep a copy of each weekly progress report and put them in your design notebook or report.
