3.2.1 Progress Reports
Engineering progress reports document the ongoing status, accomplishments, and upcoming
tasks of a project, ranging from informal, one-page memos to formal, detailed documents. They
keep stakeholders informed about schedule adherence, budget, and issues. Common formats
include emails/memos for internal updates, formal documents for clients, and oral presentations.
Progress reports are periodic documents prepared during the execution of a project. Their main
purpose is to track project progress and compare completed tasks with the planned schedule.
These reports typically include:
• Work completed during the previous period.
• Current ongoing activities.
• Challenges or problems encountered by the team.
• Planned future tasks.
3.2.2 Feasibility Reports
Feasibility reports are prepared before starting a project to evaluate whether the project can be
successfully implemented. These reports help organizations decide whether to proceed with the
project or not. Feasibility studies usually examine several aspects, including:
• Technical feasibility: Whether the project can be implemented with available technology.
• Economic feasibility: Whether the project cost is justified by the expected benefits.
• Time feasibility: Whether the project can be completed within the required time.
