如何写技术类周报（英文）

每周都会收到部下们发来的周报，也要给我的老板写周报。某天给部下们发出以下邮件告诉大家如何才能写个比较好的周报，今天翻出来觉得还是有些收藏价值，就随手拷贝到这里来了：

Hi all,

I found some weekly reports you send out every week are not really following some conventions or not well formatted. I would summarize some tips here for your reference.

• Focus on progress, state the achivements, highlight the risks and issues.
• Use passive voice to describe items, avoid using “we”, instead, using “the team” if needed. Examples: We plan to start integration test from next week. – Integration test is planned to start from next week. Or, The team plans to start integration test from next week.
• Each item in weekly report should be written in one full sentence to one short paragraph,  and should be descriptive enough that it gives the reader a clear understanding what you did or plan to do. Just writing a short, cryptic phrase is not adequate. Examples: An issue discovered this week. – A RSSI indication inaccurate display issue was discovered this week. A proposal raised. – A proposal of using traffic channel to transmit the GPS data was raised by the team.
• Try not to use abbreviations. If it repeats many times, describe the full name in the first. Especially for those not very widely used terms. Examples: The PAC approved the scope in this week. – The Project Approval Committee (PAC) approved the scope in this week.
• Uniform the styles of date in whole weekly report. Examples: RRR is scheduled on July 22nd. SA is scheduled on Jul 23, 2008. – RRR is scheduled on Jul 22. SA is scheduled on Jul 23.
• Same font formats for whole weekly report, following the style guideline. I sent out style guideline before.

These are just from my personal view, I welcome your additional suggestions or comments. You may read some experienced managers’ weekly reports to learn more. Anyway I expect to see your weekly report much more professional next time.

Thanks.
