3.1 TEAM MEMBER STATUS REPORT

The Team Member Status Report is fi lled out by team members and submitted to the project manager on a regular basis.

Status reports also identify new risks and issues that have arisen in the current reporting period. Typical information includes:

• Activities planned for the current reporting period
• Activities completed in the current reporting period
• Activities planned but not completed in the current reporting period
• Root causes of activities variances
• Funds spent in the current reporting period

This information is generally compiled by the project manager into a Project Performance Report. The Team Member Status Report and the Project Performance Report are examples of work performance reports, an output of 9.4 Manage Project Team in the PMBOK® Guide—Fifth Edition.
