Daily report template that takes 6 minutes to write

Write a daily progress report that captures everything stakeholders need in under 6 minutes.

Practical steps

  1. 1

    Open the reports area. Pick Daily from the template list.

  2. 2

    The template auto-fills date, weather, and headcount from the morning sign-in.

  3. 3

    Write 3 sentences in the Progress section: what was done, what was held up, what is happening tomorrow.

  4. 4

    Add one progress photo if the day produced something visible.

  5. 5

    Pick any incidents or near-misses from the dropdown. If none, tick the explicit None Today box.

  6. 6

    Submit. The report routes to the project director and the client lead automatically.

Key takeaways

  • Three sentences for progress: done, held up, tomorrow. More than that and no-one reads it.
  • One photo per day, not ten. The right photo is one that shows real progress.
  • Explicit None Today on incidents is better than silence. Silence reads as forgot.
