Short answer

What makes project status reporting software useful?

Useful project status reporting software gives the team a repeatable structure for each update. Meridian lets project managers author dated reports, set green, yellow, or red health, mark communication as internal or external, associate a cycle, choose visible sections, and add forecast and blocker notes. Reports remain available for review and can be copied as formatted plain text.
