Project Status Report Template
A free project status report template that rebuilds itself from your project tracker sheet every week. Progress, blockers, risks, next steps — branded, shareable, auto-generated.
Free. No credit card. No trial.
What this report looks like
A good project status report answers four questions every week: what got done, what's blocked, what's at risk, what's next. SlideMaker turns this into a template that fills itself in from the project tracker sheet.
Each row in the sheet (project, owner, status, blockers, target date) becomes a status item on the deck. The deck rebuilds every Monday morning before standup. The team opens the same link, always sees the latest.
Three ways this gets used
Concrete examples to picture before signing up.
Engineering weekly status
Eng lead exports Jira status every Monday, drops it in the status report template, fixes formatting, sends. 45 minutes a week, every week.
A weekly status report template runs against the Jira export sheet every Monday at 8 AM. The team opens the same link, the report always shows the latest.
Cross-functional initiative tracker
Program manager chases each functional lead for their slide every week. Compiling the cross-functional status takes a full half-day.
One project status report template, one master sheet with one row per workstream. Each lead updates their row. The deck rebuilds itself Monday morning.
Client-facing project update
Agency PM rebuilds the same client status deck every week for 8 active engagements. Different client, same template, copy-paste from Asana.
One status report template per client, each pointing at that client's Asana export sheet. All 8 decks regenerate Monday morning. PM reviews and sends.

Common questions
What data goes into a project status report template?
The standard structure includes: project list with status (on track / at risk / blocked / done), owner per project, blockers and risks, completed this week, next milestones, and burn-up or velocity chart if available.
Which project trackers can I connect?
Any tracker that exports to Google Sheets — Jira, Asana, Linear, Monday, ClickUp, Trello. Most have a "Sheets export" or "API to Sheets" integration. The report reads from that exported sheet.
How often does the project status report update?
Weekly is most common. Daily is good for active sprints or high-velocity teams. Monthly is enough for steady-state program reporting.
Can the report show charts?
Yes. Burn-up, burn-down, velocity, and status-distribution charts render automatically from the source data and refresh on each run.
