2. Overview
2.1. Purpose
2.1.1. A Highlight Report is used to provide the Project Board (and possibly other stakeholders) with a summary of the stage status at intervals defined by them. The Project Board uses the report to monitor stage and project progress. The Project Manager also uses it to advise the Project Board of any potential problems or areas where the Project Board could help.
2.2. Contents
2.2.1. The Highlight Report should cover the following topics.
2.2.2. Status Summary
2.2.3. This Reporting Period
2.2.4. Next Reporting Period
2.2.5. Project and Stage Tolerance Status
2.2.6. Requests for Change
2.2.7. Key Issues and Risks
2.2.8. Lessons Report (if appropriate)
2.3. Advice
2.3.1. The Highlight Report is derived from the: Project Initiation Documentation; Checkpoint Reports; Issue Register, Quality Register and Risk Register; Stage Plan and actuals: and Communication Management Strategy
2.3.2. The Highlight Report can take a number of formats, including: Presentation to the Project Board (physical meeting or conference call); Document or email to the Project Board; Entry in a project management tool.
2.3.3. The following quality criteria should be observed:
2.3.3.1. The level and frequency of progress reporting required by the Project Board is right for the stage and/or project
2.3.3.2. The Project Manager provides the Highlight Report at the frequency, and with the content, required by the Project Board
2.3.3.3. The information is timely, useful, accurate and objective
2.3.3.4. The report highlights any potential problem areas.
