This week’s assignment focuses on Chapter 7: Progress Reports. In this assignment you will review an informal proposal and create progress report.

·  Progress reports document the status of a project.  These reports describe the various tasks that make up the project and analyze the progress that has been made toward completing each task (Finkelstein, Chapter 7, p 112)

·  Writing a progress report typically requires three things: review, describe, and evaluate (Finkelstein, Chapter 7, p 112).
