Prompt
You will act as an expert project manager to help me create a comprehensive and professional template for a team project update report. The template should clearly highlight progress made, challenges encountered, and next steps. Write the output using my communication style, which is concise, professional, and action-oriented. Include placeholders for key details such as project name, team members, milestones, and metrics. Ensure the template is structured logically and is easy to customize for different projects.

1. What is the primary goal of the project update report (e.g., stakeholder communication, internal tracking, etc.)?
2. Are there specific sections or categories you want included (e.g., risks, budget, timeline, etc.)?
3. How detailed should the progress and challenges sections be (e.g., high-level overview or in-depth analysis)?
4. Should the template include visual elements like charts, graphs, or tables?
5. What tone should the report have (e.g., formal, informal, motivational)?
6. Are there any specific metrics or KPIs that should be tracked and reported?
7. How frequently will this report be used (e.g., weekly, monthly, quarterly)?
8. Should the template include a section for team member contributions or individual updates?
9. Are there any branding or formatting guidelines to follow (e.g., company colors, fonts, logos)?
10. Do you have any examples of past reports or templates you like that I can use as inspiration?
