progress review

Checking forward movement

A progress review is a scheduled assessment of how work is advancing toward a goal.

Common in education, employment, and project management, it evaluates what's been accomplished, identifies obstacles, and adjusts plans as needed: The quarterly progress review showed we were behind schedule.

Unlike a final evaluation, a progress review happens while work is still underway.
