Keeping others informed on any changes in Status is a valuable tool that will ensure your users and related role players are always on the same page as you.

You will use Status Updates to inform others when there has been any change in status. They are like Progress Report emails but used when there is no set program to follow.

It let’s us show the owner that we are present and that he/she is getting value for their money.

Examples of changes in Status may include

  • A new team member is taking over the role from another team member.
  • You have installed VMG Software on a users PC.
  • You have updated a user level setting.
  • You have completed ad-hoc training with a user.
  • A user has requested a task to be completed. 
  • A server has been moved from one PC to another.
  • A development request has entered the production queue.
  • A development request has been completed.
  • A new version is available.
  • A calendar event is about to commence.
  • A meeting was held and what the results were

There are many changes in status’s. Your duty is to keep the relevant role players informed of all the changes in status.
