If your organisation is a delivery partner, you report on each of your projects every quarter.
`My projects` is your reporting home. This appears only when it is turned on for your
organisation.

## Your reporting home

`My projects` shows every project you hold, one line each, with where it's up to. The first time
you visit, a `Welcome` may walk you through it and, where the organisation has one, ask you to agree
to its agreement.

- **`This quarter's reports`**: one report per project, per quarter, with its `Status`:
  `Not started`, `Draft saved`, `Submitted` or `Closed`. Select `Start my update`,
  `Continue my update` or `View my report`.
- **`Earlier submissions`**: everything you've sent before this quarter.
- **`Shared back with you`**: partner versions of quarterly reports released to your organisation.
  Select `Read the report`.
- **`Your details`**: the people the organisation writes to about yours. Select `Edit` or
  `Add a contact`, then `Save my details`.

If you hold projects in two or more Epics, `All Epics` shows them by Epic. A project whose work has
finished says `No report due`.

The `Dashboard` also shows this quarter's reports.

## Complete your update

1. Select `Start my update` (or `Continue my update`).
2. Work through the sections: `Progress`, `Outcomes`, `Summary reflections`, `Housekeeping`, then
   `Review & submit`. `Your brief` shows your Epic goal, your project and what you committed to.
3. Select `Save` at any time; you can come back later.
4. On `Review & submit`, check it over and tick the box to say the report is ready.
5. Select `Submit my update`. Nothing reaches your captain until you do.

If the quarter closes before you submit, the page says `This quarter has closed`. Your answers are
kept exactly as you left them, but they were not submitted.

## Let a colleague report for you

Use `Delegates` to give a colleague your returns for a set time. See
[Your organisation's members](your-organisation-members.md#delegate-your-quarterly-returns).
