I am looking for published literature on guidelines for a good progress / status report. There are no RPs available and not many articles in our library. 

I am particularly interested in information on Table of Contents and what KPI's should be included in the reporting.

Thanks 

Abhi

Great question.... I'm sure that there are many variations of progress reports floating around out there. The problem might be that each report will differ between companies and client requirements.
The better progress reports should include important / key milestone status as well as cost data & schedule (critical path) and maybe risk data.  
Comparisons between a baseline vs. current period too. KPI status would be another great item to include.  
Best reports will have a "realistic" forecast  for determining future outcomes (not some random BS calculated numbers). 
Also, a proposed recovery plan to achieve completion milestones.

Data should be vetted before publishing or your credibility will suffer!

just my two cents,

Dear Abhimanyu,

I have developed a Project Management Model that I apply in Bolivia, and I can show you a images about the project control panel (attached files)

I hope you find it useful,
