Monthly Project Report
Monthly reports are far more effective when they follow a consistent pattern. This template ensures you include all the important information every month, and will make it easy for your stakeholders to find what they need to know.
Once you open the template you can make it your own by adding your content. You can also make changes like adding or removing macros, changing images and color schemes, and so on. Changes you make will not affect the template you started with.
1 Introductory banner
A large banner using your team colors or logo at the top of the page can be a great way to set the theme for the content below. This banner is made using the Interactive Banner macro, with just one slide.
2 Key details
Putting the key details of the team and project up top lets everyone check that they are looking at the correct reports, and gives you a nudge to remember to tag everyone who needs to look at the content of the page.
3 Table of contents
The table of contents macro is an easy way to supply quick in-page links. It takes the headings on your page and lists links to them for easy navigation.
4 Targets
Using a combination of the page section layout and Background macros lets you group the information you need to report. Using columns is a great way to compare information across themes, and the backgrounds keep the page looking clean.
5 Key Initiatives
Putting the key details of each initiative into Tabs, lets you add all the information you need without making your page too long. Buttons inside tabs are ideal for highlighting important links so they don't get overlooked.
6 Roadmap
Advanced Cards are a clean and easy way to add quick information about what's coming up. You can add images if you need them, as well as links to pages with more information.
7 Team recognition
Every month there are people in your team who are doing great work. Having a section in your monthly report dedicated to thanking your team makes sure your team doesn't go unrecognized.
