Progress Reporting Skill
What it does
- •Crafts status updates with outcomes, risks, and next steps.
- •Summarizes metrics (velocity, burndown, defect rate) for stakeholders.
- •Tailors message per audience (executive, product, engineering).
When to use (khi nào dùng)
- •When stakeholders request status or risk assessment.
- •Before major milestones/releases to align expectations.
Key operations
- •Identify active project; gather metrics from
current-sprint.json, velocity/burndown charts, task logs. - •Compile key metrics and narrative: what changed, impact, risks; include RAG with rationale and asks.
- •Tailor content length and depth to audience; highlight decisions needed.
- •Attach evidence (demo links, PRs, dashboards, burndown/velocity charts); log updates in
memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md.
Output files
- •
projects/<ACTIVE>/reports/status.md— current status, accomplishments, next steps, risks/asks. - •
projects/<ACTIVE>/reports/metrics.csv— velocity, burndown snapshots, defects, lead time (if available). - •
projects/<ACTIVE>/reports/risks.md— risk register with owners and due dates. - •
projects/<ACTIVE>/reports/weekly-report.mdorsprint-review.mdwhen applicable. - •
memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md— log shared updates, risks, and decisions.
Example workflow
- •Gather metrics (velocity, burndown, completion %) and qualitative updates from
task-logand sprint files. - •Write
status.mdwith RAG, highlights, risks, asks, and links to evidence (demo, PRs, dashboards). - •Update
metrics.csvandrisks.md; share with stakeholders; log summary inmemory/YYYY-MM-DD.md.
Best practices (best practice)
- •Lead with outcomes and impact; keep metrics brief and relevant.
- •Be explicit about risks, mitigations, and help needed.
- •Keep updates consistent cadence and format; avoid surprise escalations.
- •Use visuals (burndown chart) when possible.
- •Keep audience-specific brevity; executives want outcomes/risks/asks; engineering wants detail/links.
- •Ensure data sources match AGENTS files (current-sprint.json, velocity/burndown charts) to avoid drift.
