Context In Project Management

Communicating the status of the project and engaging with the stakeholders are critical aspects of maintaining their support for the project. As a Project Manager (PM), managing the execution as well as constantly monitoring and controlling the project, you are also ensuring that your stakeholders are aware of the project's progress with the level of detail that they need. How would you communicate project progress and status to key stakeholders? How would you ensure that they have sufficient information to make key decisions and assist you in the further progress of your project? This will depend on the stakeholder group, their power and interests, and their communication preferences and requirements. PMs will need to answer these questions, and, many times, they are put in the spotlight to present their progress in meetings to top management to discuss and provide their solutions and ideas for problem-solving if changes are needed.

Depending on the above context, identify at least three (3) effective status reports used in project management. b) Discuss challenges and pitfalls for each of the project status reports mentioned. c) Explain the difference between the project status reports provided for teams, sponsors, and the steering committee, considering their unique needs. d) Create and justify a sample of a project status report that would be submitted to a chosen stakeholder of the project from the given West Connex case study. provide intext citation and reference
