A weekly client status report. Written from the work done.

Weekly client status is a DFIRST skill that writes a client’s weekly status from the work actually done in DFIRST. Firsty, the DFIRST agent, reads the period’s sessions, files and posts, compares them with last week, and lists what is done, in progress, blocked and next, every item with a link and a date. Nothing is sent until you ask.

Every item links to the work and shows its date
No activity shows as no update, never as on track
Every blocker says what you need from the client

Friday status for ZESTA, last 7 days. Laura reads it first thing Monday.

Every line links to the session or card it came from and carries its date. The blocker says what is needed from Laura and by when, and the quiet calendar reads as no update.

At a glance.

What Weekly client status needs from you and what it hands back.

You bring: The client’s workspace and the period. By default, this session’s workspace and the last seven days. Recipients only if it should be sent.
You get: A status Document with done, in progress, blockers, next week and what changed since last week, each item with a link and its source date.
What it reads: Sessions, files and posts in DFIRST only. Work done elsewhere is not in it, and the status says so.
Quiet work: Anything without activity in the period shows as no update, never as on track.
Sending: After you approve it, by email or Slack, only when you ask. Set up in Connections.
Next week: A copy goes to the Data Room, so next week’s status compares with this one.

Questions people ask.

About Weekly client status and how it fits the rest of DFIRST.

How do I write a weekly client status report?

Ask Firsty for the status in the client’s workspace. It reads the sessions, files and posts from the last seven days, or the period you name, compares them with last week’s status, and writes done, in progress, blockers and next week. You approve it or say what to change.

Does it include work done outside DFIRST?

No. The status lists only work done in DFIRST and says so. Calls, emails or edits made in other tools are not in it, so add them yourself before you approve the status for the client.

Can it send the status to my client’s Slack or email?

Yes, when you ask and after you approve the status. Connect Slack or your email in Connections and tell Firsty who should get it. It shows the message and the recipients first and sends nothing without your Allow.

What if nothing happened on a project this week?

The status says no update. Work with no activity in the period is never shown as on track, so the client sees exactly what moved. Every blocker also says what you need from the client, which makes the next step clear on both sides.

Can I run it for several clients?

Yes. Run it in each client’s workspace, and each status reads only that client’s work. A copy of every approved status is saved in that workspace’s Data Room, so the following week’s status starts by comparing with it.
