report?
WHAT IS A

• A progress study is exactly

what it sounds like – a
document that explains in
detail how you far you’ve gone
towards the completion of a
project.
• It outlines the activities
you’ve carried out, the tasks
you’ve completed, and the
milestones you’ve reached vis-
à-vis your project plan.
WHAT IS A

• A progress report is typically

written for a supervisor,
colleagues, or client. You might
write it on your behalf or work
with your teammates to produce a
team progress report.
• Depending on the scope and
complexity of the project, you
might need to give a progress
report weekly or monthly, or for
every 25% project milestone.
