Project Status Report Template
Show where the project stands and what needs intervention before risk becomes delay
Free, no sign-up, no email. An xlsx file that works in Excel and Google Sheets
How often has a decision-maker asked for project status and received conflicting percentages and stale updates? A summary may say the project is on track while a major milestone is slipping elsewhere. By the time the full picture appears, the window to intervene is smaller.
This project status report template brings progress, overall health, milestones, risks, and decisions into one view. Set a clear status for schedule, scope, and resources, while the sheet calculates completion from finished tasks.
The result? Readers understand the situation quickly, see who owns each risk, and can make a decision before the delay grows.
