A one page weekly report format to keep outsourced delivery explainable to stakeholders.
- Outcomes shipped this week
- Scope status, what changed, what did not
- Quality status, tests executed, defects, escaped defect risk
- Risks and mitigations
- Decisions needed, owner, due date
- Next week plan, deliverables and acceptance gates
Keep it to one page. Send on the same day each week. If there is no change, say so.
