Scenario
You are in the tenth week of the XYZ Business Workflow project, and
things haven’t quite gone according to plan. At the end of the
requirements analysis phase, your team told you that:
Feature 2 (F2) development is more complex than thought initially. It will take at least 10 workweeks to be complete.
Feature Customization 3 (C3) will take close to five workweeks.
The complete system testing will take a minimum of one-and-a-half weeks due to the complexity of the systems involved.
You made some necessary resource and schedule adjustments in your plan and obtained stakeholder approval for the same.
However, due to delays in getting client approvals, UI design and
development took one week more than estimated, which has now pushed all
dependent tasks out by a week. Moreover, a resource availability issue
has added three days to the Feature 1 development effort.
You are scheduled to present a project status report at the end of
the week at a stakeholders’ meeting that will include the client’s
representatives.
Directions
Project Status Report
Create a presentation for
stakeholders describing relevant aspects of the current project status.

project schedule, current project status, updated risk register, and any
other relevant project information you believe the stakeholders need to
know. You can use any project management software (PMS) tool to create
and update the project schedule and status. However, remember to choose a
tool that will help you complete all parts of the project, like the
Gantt chart.

Any issues facing the team currently and how you are managing them
Any new potential risks and proposed mitigation

Action items to ensure the project stays on track
