Modern PMs are drowning in metrics. Velocity charts, burndown graphs, defect counts, NPS surveys, SLA dashboards...
But turning all that raw data into a polished update your team or client can actually understand? That’s the real challenge.
💥 My Old Workflow: Clunky Excel, Manual Charts, Too Many Tabs
Each week, I’d:
- Export Jira/ClickUp data
- Dump it into Excel
- Create pivot tables + charts
- Write a summary that “sounds smart”
It took forever — and half the time, stakeholders barely read it.
So I changed everything.
⚡ My New KPI Reporting Stack (Powered by ChatGPT)
Now I generate stakeholder-friendly KPI summaries in under 3 minutes.
Here’s what I use:
- ✅ 1-click prompt in Notion
- 🧠 GPT auto-summarizes velocity, blockers, and goals
- 📄 I copy the output into my status report or slide deck
No formulas. No data wrangling. Just clean, readable output.
🧠 What It Looks Like in Action
Prompt:
“Summarize this sprint’s KPIs: velocity = 38, completed = 9/10 stories, 2 carryovers, 4 new bugs, blocker: API dependency, team mood = neutral”
Output:
✅ Velocity remained steady at 38, with 9 of 10 stories completed. 2 stories rolled over due to an API dependency blocker. The team logged 4 new bugs and reported a neutral sentiment overall.
Clear, concise, and instantly ready to paste.
🎯 The Prompts I Use Every Week
🟢 Milestone Snapshot Prompt
Quick snapshot: goal vs. actual, timeline, risks
🟡 Trend Summary Generator

🔵 Goal Variance Note

🟣 Blocker Impact Summary

🟠 Team Sentiment Recap

All included in my KPI Toolkit.
💡 Why This Works (Even Without Excel)
Most KPI summaries don’t fail because of bad data. They fail because of:
- ❌ Overcomplicating the language
- ❌ Lacking a story or context
- ❌ Skipping emotional signals like morale or pressure
These prompts fix all 3 — and make you look like a pro to clients and execs.
