Weekly status report

---name: weekly-status-reportdescription: "Write the weekly update from what actually happened (merged work, moved tickets, tracked figures) in the same shape as last week."metadata:  title: "Weekly status report"  category: operations  tags: [reporting, status]--- ## When to use this A weekly update is due for a team, a project or a client, or last week's existsand this one has to match it. ## How 1. Find last week's report first (in the files, or the last document you posted)   and keep its sections and their order. A report that changes shape cannot be   compared with itself.2. Gather evidence for the period only: what merged, which tickets closed or   moved, what shipped, the figures the report tracks. State the date range you   used.3. Write four sections in this order: Done (outcomes, not activity),   Numbers (each figure beside last week's, with the change), Blocked   (what, on whom, since when), Next (three items at most, each with an   owner).4. When a number moved for a dull reason -- a holiday, a backfill, a renamed   field -- say so on the same line.5. Mark a section *missing* when its source was unavailable. Never fill it from   memory or copy last week's.6. With three or more tracked figures, add a line chart of recent weeks in a   chart fence.7. Post it as a document titled with the week, then reply with the one sentence   a reader should take from it. Ask before sending it to anyone outside this   thread. One page. If it runs long, cut from Done, never from Blocked.
