2. Lightweight PM/status sections
Structured enough to support the work, light enough to remain practical.
StatusAngel provides practical status sections that help companies manage the current position.
These sections can be filled out lightly or in more detail, depending on the customer, project, job or
reporting need.
P
Progress to date
What has been completed, what has moved forward, what has changed, and what current position should
be communicated.
R
Risks
Future uncertainties that may affect delivery, timing, cost, quality, customer expectations or confidence.
I
Issues
Current problems, blockers or concerns that are already affecting the work and may need explanation.
N
Next steps
What will happen next, what the team intends to do, and what the customer should expect in the next
period.
D
Dependencies
Things needed from the customer, suppliers, third parties, internal teams, approvals or external events.
M
Milestones
Key stages, baseline dates, current forecast dates, actual dates, progress percentage and milestone
status.
Designed for flexible detail.
A company can use the structure lightly for a concise monthly update, or more fully for stronger
project/status visibility. The product supports both styles without trying to become a heavy enterprise
project-management suite.
