REPORTING

1) Monthly: Review a Task Report.

Committee Chairpersons run an 'All Tasks' report after the end of the month and review it with their team. That report should be a major contributing factor in what R.A.G. Status you report.

2) Monthly: Report R.A.G. status.

Based on your review of the All Tasks report and team discussion, answer two questions: What is your Commitee's Red / Amber / Green status today? What is the main deciding factor in setting that Status? Your Monthly Status Report should be submitted by the 5th of the month.

3) Quarterly: ID Lessons Learned.

Once every three months or so, meet with your Committee to discuss your Committee's performance over the past three months. How can we do better next time? What project processes or steps need to be started, stopped, or continued? Use the Lessons Learned template for a smoother process.

4) Quarterly: ID New Best Practices.

Finally, once every three monts or so, distill Lessons Learned into Best Practices as possible and log them. Add this task to a Committee meeting agenda at least once per quarter or use the Lessons Learned Template as directed.
