Project status in one answer
Project status without chasing four people: what is done, what is waiting and how it tracks against calculation and target.
How you work it in Colleag
- 1
Ask the colleague in chat: where does the project stand?
- 2
The colleague reads the workspace documents, open issues and the costing material, and puts cost against target.
- 3
Review the answer: every line has a source, so you see where each figure comes from.
- 4
Save it as a dashboard so management sees the same status without asking.
A worked example
“Where does the X200 project stand before Friday's steering group?”
You get status per discipline, calculated cost against target and the list of what is waiting on whom, with a source per point. Anything lacking data is reported openly instead of guessed.

Screenshot from Colleag. The example uses invented figures.
The material
- The documents in your workspace: specs, decisions and meeting material
- Costing and price data from the business system
- Open issues and changes in the project
You approve
Everything the colleague produces is a proposal with sources. Nothing is published, sent or saved to the archive without a human approving it, and every figure traces to its material.
