Here are the basic rules for reporting progress on project work.  This rule of thumb may also be called the Reporting Period Rule.

1. Work progress on tasks are reported:
   • 0% – not started
   • 50% – started
   • 100% – complete
2. No task should be reported 50% for 2 consecutive status meetings
3. No task should span more than 2 weekly status periods
