Status reporting shouldn't take you hours. - Endlessly chasing your team for updates. :( - Searching chat, email, slides & spreadsheets. :( - Arranging meetings to get what you need. :( Statusflow lets you build collaborative reports fast.
Hey Prod Hunters! 🙌
If you manage a team or project, you'll know that status reporting can be a bit soul destroying.
As a founder I remember staying up until stupid-o'clock to finish the monthly board deck - and my co-founders Tim and Joel spent 15 years suffering through reporting as management consultants.
🌧 Chasing collaborators, 💔 creating multiple versions, 😭 copy and paste from email, chat… and "where was Bob's comment again?" 🤯
So you end up working late to pull it all together.
What would a better way look like?
We pictured a mashup of Powerpoint (attractive A4 reporting) + Excel (easy to use grid layouts) + mobile-ready collaboration workflows that Excel and Powerpoint lacked. And thus, Statusflow was born!
✅ A simple, single purpose tool
✅ A great set of proven, PPT-like templates to start from (edit, or add your own) - with your branding automatically added.
✅ Easy to input on mobile.
✅ A clear, guided workflow for collaborators on what needs input, and when, and in-app chat when a bit of clarification is needed.
✅ Transparent and collaborative
✅ A single place to collect updates and craft the report
The ultimate benefit is: you use less time, and what you use is used wisely.
We hope you love using this, and welcome any feedback!
Having spent hours / days / months during my career chasing people for updates and making sure they are in the right format for 'the weekly status' report - it feels like this could really make a difference and save me a lot of that time!
A really enjoyable learning experience to be involved in bringing this to market!
The tool looks great and nails a lot of the key features that users want and appreciate. Not having to worry about all the other bloat that full-on enterprise PM tools have also meant this could focus on what the end customer (i.e. the report stakeholder) wants and needs.

As a current management consultant leading projects, I can immediately see the use case this product slips into.
Will definitely look to bring this into my projects, looking forward to what’s next from this team!
