Hands planning a project timeline around a shared desk

Use the same shape each week

Write what was completed, what is underway, what is blocked and what needs input next. A familiar format lets clients scan quickly and makes gaps in the plan easier to spot.

End with one clear ask

If you need a decision, file or approval, say exactly what it is and when it is needed. The purpose of the update is not to prove activity. It is to keep the next piece of work unblocked.
