Introduction
Accomplishment and Progress Report
Introduction
What is the difference
between an
Accomplishment Report
and a Progress Report?
 How are they different?
Progress Report
A report that states the on-going
process of a series of work to be
done within a time frame.
Accomplishmen
t Report
A type of report that concludes the
progress report and is usually done
when all the work that needs to be
done have all been accomplished.
A progress report is exactly what it sounds like—a document that explains in detail how far
you’ve gone towards the completion of a project. It outlines the activities you’ve carried out,
the tasks you’ve completed, and the milestones you’ve reached vis-à-vis your project plan. A
progress report is typically written for a supervisor, colleague, or client. You might write it
on your behalf or work with your teammates to produce a team progress report. Depending
on the scope and complexity of the project, you might need to give a progress report weekly
or monthly, or for every 25% project milestone. Throughout your career, you’re likely to be
creating more reports than you can count (challenge for you: count them and find how many
resources you’re using!). Perhaps you find yourself spending more time crunching data and
plugging numbers into graphs than actually working.
 Why is a progress report Important?
Each person who receives a copy of the report will know what has been
accomplished. This prevents confusion about what has been or has yet to be
done. It facilitates collaboration This is especially important when different
teams work together. Knowing what the other team is up to helps prevent
working in silos and also reduces task redundancy. It also helps one team
identify areas where it can offer help or team up with others. It improves
transparency and accountability by providing a paper trail When you submit
your report, you’ve placed on record that you’ve accomplished a task or
explained why your results were different than expected. Once the document
has been accepted, it becomes part of the project’s official documentation.

what the report is trying to convey.
 Identify your audience
Knowing who will be reading your report is an important step in determining how you will format
your report, what to include and the tone you should use when writing it. For example, if you are
writing a sales report for your manager, will anyone else be reading the report? If you are
composing a business analysis report, will your higherups be reading the report or only your
immediate supervisor? Establish who will be reading your report and cater the report to these
specific people.

Decide which information you will include

After determining who your audience is, you should focus on identifying the purpose of your
report to decide what information should be included. If you know who will be reading the report,
you could ask questions regarding what they expect to see. Choose to include information that will
provide the clearest picture of what you are trying to convey. For example, if you are writing a
sales report, your report may need to include information about whether sales goals are being met,
products and services that are selling the most, challenges you or your team are facing and your
sales forecast for the next month or quarter.
 Structure your report
1. Title or title page
2. Executive summary/abstract that briefly describes the content of your report
3. Table of contents (if the report is more than a few pages)
4. An introduction describing your purpose in writing the report
5. A body paragraph where you include the information you are conveying with the report
6. Conclusion or recommendation depending on the purpose of the report

Use concise and professional language

You should strive to use clear and concise language when writing your report. Try to get the
point across as clearly and quickly as possible and use simple yet professional language.
Avoid using "fluff" or wordy sentences when possible. For example, rather than saying "you
might find it helpful to regularly refresh your inbox to stay up-to-date on emails," you could
say "regularly refresh your inbox."
 Proofread and edit your report

Proofreading your work report is an essential step in the report-writing

process. This gives you the opportunity to ensure that your writing is as
professional as possible and to catch any mistakes before you send it out.
Proofreading also allows you to cut out any unnecessary information and
make sure that your report is as efficient and effective as possible. Once you
have finished writing your report, set it aside for an hour or more before you
proofread it. This will allow you to look at the report in a fresh way and catch
mistakes you may not have seen before.
