Wellingtone’s State of Project Management 2026 found that 72% of project professionals spend half a day or more every month just collating reports — and 44% are dissatisfied with their PMO’s reporting anyway. Effort is clearly not the problem. This course attacks the actual problem: the facts are scattered across nine places, and you are the human integration layer between them.Graded in minutes returned — starting with your own baseline
In Section 4 you measure one real reporting cycle in four buckets: collecting, formatting, re-cutting and writing. Most people discover that writing — the part everyone pictures — is under a quarter of the time. The capstone measures against that baseline. No other course on this topic asks you to do this, and without it you can never show what you actually gained.Built on the 2026 Claude surface, not the 2024 one
- Cowork — a scheduled Monday-morning run that pulls your tracker, compares against last week, drafts the weekly to your standard, and lists what it couldn’t source. Queued, never sent.
- Claude for Excel — turn a 200-row tracker export into six honest RAG paragraphs with a source row on every claim.
- Claude for PowerPoint — the steering pack built in your template, decisions on page one.
- Claude for Outlook — inbox triage that surfaces buried vendor commitments the day they arrive, with drafts that wait for you to send.
- Connectors & MCP — reading Jira and Confluence safely, with the credential as the boundary and a human gate on every write.
- Agent Skills — your reporting standard packaged so a whole team runs it the same way.
