Projectstatusbladen

Projectstatusbladen, often referred to as project status sheets, are structured documents used in project management to summarize the current state of a project for stakeholders. They distill complex information into a concise snapshot that can be reviewed in meetings or via dashboards.

A typical projectstatusblad includes basic project identifiers, current phase, scope changes, milestones and schedule status with dates and completion percentages, budget status, key risks and issues with mitigations, action items with owners and due dates, and notable dependencies or decisions.

Format and cadence vary, but common forms are a one-page template, a spreadsheet, or a dashboard embedded in a project management system. They are produced on a regular cadence (weekly or monthly) and may feed into a program or portfolio status report used across disciplines such as IT, construction, or product development.

Benefits include improved visibility, faster risk escalation, and clearer accountability; they support data-driven decisions and alignment among stakeholders. Challenges involve maintaining data accuracy, standardizing definitions (for example, what constitutes 'green' or 'red'), and avoiding excessive administrative overhead.

In practice, projectstatusbladen are part of broader governance practices and relate to status reports and project dashboards found in project portfolio management.
