Summarise a Complex Project Status Report for a Non-Technical Audience

The steering committee meeting is in two hours and the project report is twelve pages of technical detail that no one in the room will read. Paste the report and this produces a one-page executive summary: RAG status with reasons, what has been achieved, the top risks, any decisions needed, and the next milestone. Good for project managers who need to translate progress into language their senior stakeholders will actually absorb.

**Summarise the report for a non-technical executive audience:**
1. Overall status: state the RAG status (Red, Amber, Green) for schedule, budget, and quality in one line each, with a one-sentence reason.
2. Key progress since last report: name the two or three most significant things completed.
3. Key risks and issues: name the top two risks or issues with the mitigation or resolution status.
4. Decisions needed: state clearly any decision the executive audience needs to make, by when, and what happens if they do not decide.
5. Next milestone: state the next major milestone, its date, and what needs to happen for it to be met.

**Grounding rule:** Work only from the report provided. If a required element is not present in the report, state that it is missing.
