Why Should I Automate My Project Overview Process?

This automated process ensures that members submit the overview on time and helps project managers understand various projects different moving parts at a glance.
Relevant project overview questions are to the point and provide a bird's eye view of the project:
Make sure that you have this one thing in mind: providing a clear overview of the project. Nothing more nothing less.
While it may be tempting to get into the nitty-gritty details behind the project, this can be a detriment for the project managers who need to understand key information under a glance.
Make sure that you have a sense of the most important details to showcase in the project overview. There's no place for subtlety here. You have to be as clear and precise as you can be.
Turn each heading into a question. This helps your team members give specific answers as updates. The clearer the questions are, the better the answers will be.
Your questions should also be easy to understand and lead to sample answers. Don't run into the mistake of trying to be clever with your questions. At the end of the day, you want to know what's happening in this project and the factors that are affecting its completion.
Set a regular schedule for sending the project overview templates that takes into account the way your team may complete the overview. For example, you don't want them to complete the report on a late-Friday afternoon because they'd be too tired by then. Send them on a Thursday morning, instead, in their respective timezones, so that they still have fresh memories of what they've done.
