ABSTRACT An ABSTRACT can be the most difficult part of the research report to write because in it you must: introduce your subject matter, tell what was done, and present selected results, all in one short (about 50 to 250 words) paragraph. The most common type of ABSTRACT is the informative abstract. A good way to develop an informative abstract is to devote a sentence or two to each of the major parts of the report.

Project Progress This section is the heart of the progress report. It describes in explicit numerical and engineering detail the state of the project at the time of the report. It provides: Description of the work done since the last report. The design approach being implemented in the prototype. The functionality and performance expected to be provided by the prototype, compared to that presented in the Proposal. Critical components acquired or in process of being acquired.

Project Progress Test procedures being developed, that are required to measure and evaluate the System performance provided by the prototype. Results of any Sub System’s tests and measurements that are critical to the successful development of the prototype. Critical technical problems that may have been encountered and how they are being managed. A clear numerical analysis and evaluation of the projects cost/time line that will be in effect from the time of completeing the report to the end of the term. Comparison of this cost/time with the estimates in the Proposal

Project Progress An updated Gantt/cost/task chart for the completion of the project. An updated current block diagram of the system being developed.

Updating The Project Status

Updating The Project Status Double Click on the affected tasks and enter the changes in estimated and actual time per Resource

Updating The Project Status The task bar changes colour to reflect status (Red / Blue – Not Started) (Purple – Started) (Grey – Progress completed) The task name changes colour to reflect status (Red – Not Started) (Purple – Started) (Green – Completed)

Updating The Project Status If the task is completed enter 0 in Estimate

Updating The Project Status The Output Stage Module task reduced 20 hours, but because it included a weekend, it appears to have been reduced more.

Individual Contributions A report showing the effort of each participant (number of hours) and any other pertinent management information

Log Books It is a good idea that each team member logs his/her activities. If you do, show your mentor your individual Log Books and ask for feedback about the best way to keep them.
