A daily progress report is both a communication tool between employees and managers and a method for tracking work completed. A report may focus on an individual’s progress or the status of a project. 

An employee or a manager will include details that depend on the context and purpose of the report. For example, a daily progress report written by a construction contractor may focus on costs and hours spent during a given day along with any new delays or changes. In other work settings, a daily progress report might track an employee’s progress with certain tasks or skill development. In schools, teachers use progress reports to evaluate and improve student behavior and academic achievement.
