Milestone Status Narrative Writing

Before after Has example

Write status commentary that is honest and clear.

The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

Write status commentary for milestones. Milestones with planned and forecast dates and status data: [MILESTONE_DATA]. Reasons for slippage: [REASONS]. Audience: [AUDIENCE].

For each milestone write 2 to 3 sentences: what is done, what remains, the forecast date, and the confidence level, with the cause of any variance and the recovery action. Compute variance in days (forecast - planned) and flag any over a threshold I give. Rewrite vague phrases. Before "Progressing well." After "Design review completed on 4 March; build is 60 percent done; forecast delivery 21 March, two days later than planned because the vendor sample arrived late."

Provide a final table: Milestone | Planned | Forecast | Variance | Status | Commentary. Add a checklist for consistency with the schedule and a tone guide (factual, no blame).

Add a rule that every slipping milestone must include the recovery action and the new forecast date, compute the variance for each milestone in days, and give a one-sentence overall headline that matches the colour of the status.
