Standard Operating Procedure

Registry ID: TR-WEEKLY-S

Weekly Status Report Architecture (Project Management System)

1. System Overview & Purpose

Purpose: To track project milestones, task health, and resource allocation across multiple workstreams.
Scope: Operational task management, risk identification, and timeline adherence.
Cadence: Data entry daily; report generation and stakeholder distribution every Friday EOD.

2. Data Structure & Column Definitions

Field Name	Data Type	Validation Rule
`Task_ID`	Alphanumeric	Unique ID (e.g., T-001)
`Workstream`	List	Dropdown: Strategy, Dev, Ops, Marketing
`Task_Name`	String	Required
`Assignee`	Person	Team Member Name
`Priority`	List	P0 (Critical), P1 (High), P2 (Normal)
`Status`	List	Not Started, In-Progress, Blocked, Completed
`Due_Date`	Date	DD/MM/YYYY
`%_Complete`	Percentage	0% to 100%
`Health_Status`	Formula	=IF([%_Complete]<100,"At Risk", "On Track")

3. Master Data Table (Mock Data)

Task_ID	Workstream	Task_Name	Assignee	Priority	Status	Due_Date	%_Complete	Health
T-001	Strategy	Q4 Budget Review	J. Doe	P0	In-Progress	2023-10-27	75%	At Risk
T-002	Dev	API Integration	A. Smith	P0	Completed	2023-10-20	100%	On Track
T-003	Ops	Vendor Contract	B. Lee	P1	Not Started	2023-11-03	0%	At Risk
T-004	Marketing	Brand Campaign	C. Wong	P2	In-Progress	2023-10-30	50%	On Track
T-005	Dev	Bug Fix 404	A. Smith	P0	Blocked	2023-10-25	20%	At Risk
T-006	Strategy	Roadmap Planning	J. Doe	P2	Not Started	2023-11-10	0%	On Track
T-007	Ops	Internal Audit	B. Lee	P1	In-Progress	2023-10-29	90%	On Track
T-008	Marketing	Social Media Kit	C. Wong	P2	Completed	2023-10-21	100%	On Track

4. Key Formulas & Logic

Dynamic Health Status: =IF(AND([@%_Complete]<100, [@Due_Date]<TODAY()), "CRITICAL", IF([@%_Complete]<100, "At Risk", "On Track"))
Total Project Completion Rate: =AVERAGE(H2:H9)
Count of Blocked Tasks: =COUNTIF(F2:F9, "Blocked")
Workstream Velocity (Completion by Category): =AVERAGEIF(B2:B9, "Dev", H2:H9)

5. Summary KPI Dashboard

Total Tasks Active: =COUNTIF(F2:F9, "<>Completed")
Priority 0 Overdue: =COUNTIFS(E2:E9, "P0", H2:H9, "<100%", G2:G9, "<"&TODAY())
Workstream Burden: =COUNTIF(B2:B9, "Dev") (Apply to all categories for heatmapping).

6. Standard Operating Workflow

Daily Maintenance (09:00): Update %_Complete and Status fields based on daily stand-up meetings.
Risk Audit (Wednesday): Filter by Health_Status == "CRITICAL" or "At Risk". Escalate via internal communication channels.
Friday Reporting (15:00):
- Review Summary KPI Dashboard for anomalies.
- Copy filtered rows (Status != Completed) into the "Look-Ahead" section for the following week.
- Export spreadsheet to PDF or extract data to slide deck for stakeholder review.
Monthly Archiving: Move "Completed" tasks to an Archive tab to maintain sheet performance and data hygiene.
