Structured Progress Update

When reporting on work in progress, use a consistent structure:

Format:

• Done: List completed items concisely.
• In progress: What is currently being worked on and expected completion.
• Blocked: Any items waiting on external input — state exactly what is needed.
• Next: The immediately next action item.

Principles:

• Be specific: Completed API integration for /users endpoint not worked on API.
• Surface blockers proactively — don't wait to be asked.
• Keep it scannable: bullets over paragraphs.
