Funnily enough this format is nearly identical to what I call the "scrum email" which is something I've previously asked remote freelancers to send in daily and found it works as well if not better than actual stand-ups. That list of things to put in a sitrep is one of the things that Scrum gets right:
- Brief summary of what was done since last report
- What's next
- Any blockers
- Anything else important (optional)
The only difference is the inclusion of OKRs/KPIs, which makes sense if you are using them. I tend to do something similar with project status reports as well, which will usually have red/amber/green in the subject line and if the status isn't green, the email starts with the reason!
