It is simple for a manager to request custom text-based status reports to enhance and simplify team communication. The project manager can define custom report formats with sections such as "Major achievements," or "Objectives." Each section can also contain textual prompts written by the manager to help the team member fill out the report. Regular intervals can be set for the reports to be due, or they can be sent out individually at the discretion of the manager. A team member will have an indicator showing when their status reports are due; a graphical indicator will show if any reports are past due. Once a team member has completed a status report, Microsoft Project Central can easily combine all individual reports into a single group report for the entire team if the manager has set them up to be merged. The manager can decide if all reports are automatically merged or if reports from specific team members require review before merging. This process creates one overall team report showing important information, including who wrote the comments and when.
