The Prompt

Write a project status update email from [AGENCY/COMPANY] to [CLIENT_NAME] about [PROJECT_NAME]. Project details: - Sender company: [AGENCY/COMPANY] - Client name: [CLIENT_NAME] - Project: [PROJECT_NAME] - Update period: [PERIOD] (e.g., Week of March 18) - What was completed this period: [COMPLETED] - What's in progress right now: [IN_PROGRESS] - What's coming next: [UPCOMING] - Any blockers or items needed from client: [BLOCKERS] - Overall status: [STATUS] (On Track / At Risk / Behind) - Next touchpoint: [NEXT_MEETING] Write the email in two formats: 1. Full update (for monthly/milestone updates): structured with headers, 300-400 words 2. Quick pulse (for weekly updates): bullet points, under 150 words For both: - Lead with the overall status (don't bury the lede) - Be specific about what was done (not vague "worked on project") - If behind, state it clearly with recovery plan — surprises are worse than bad news - Keep ask-of-client items prominent and specific - End with next meeting or checkpoint confirmation
