Why each option
A weekly status report template should capture progress, upcoming work, and obstacles - making task completion dates, issues, and scheduled tasks the most relevant fields for that purpose.
Task completion dates show what work has been finished and whether the team is on schedule, which is core status reporting information.
Meeting minutes are a separate artifact captured during meetings, not a status reporting field in a weekly template.
Issues document blockers or problems that may require the project manager's attention or escalation, making them essential weekly status content.
Scheduled tasks indicate what work is planned for the coming period, giving the project manager forward visibility into team activity.
Vacation requests are handled through HR or resource management processes, not through a project status report.
Timesheets track time for payroll or billing and are managed through separate systems, not consolidated in a project status template.
Lessons learned are captured at project milestones or closure, not compiled weekly in a routine status report.
